Ikebana class

what you will learn?

What you will learn in this Ikebana class is "Ikenobo Ikebana". Ikenobo is the origin of the Japanese Ikebana. In other words, you will learn the most orthodox Ikebana in the world. Ikenobo Ikebana is characterized by a wide range of flowers from classical to modern. Based on the aesthetics cultivated over a long history, you can make flowers that match your current sensibilities. A free and artistic Japanese flower arrangement that overturns the image of "Ikebana is complicated and difficult". Why don't you relax and face the flowers and play with them?

Ikebana styles have three styles: Ricca style, Shoka style, and Freestyle. Ricca and Shoka styles are classic flowers with patterns and advanced lessons. As the name implies, Freestyle has no design, and you create it yourself.

In the Introductory course, you will learn the Freestyle, and if students wish to study higher level, we'll lead you more. It all depends on your wish to learn. And the most important thing is to enjoy touching flowers and nature to heal yourself.

Even in the seats next to each other, the students are creating Ikebana under different themes. There is no pressure for everyone to complete it in time, so you slowly face the flowers until you are satisfied. It's also beneficial to look up to other people's works from time to time.
