Ikenobō

Ikenobō (池坊) is a traditional Japanese school of ikebana, the art of flower arrangement. Founded in the 15th century, it emphasizes harmony, balance, and the natural beauty of flowers and plants. Ikenobō arrangements often reflect seasonal changes and typically feature three main components that symbolize heaven, earth, and humanity. The style is known for its elegance and simplicity, encouraging creativity while adhering to certain principles. Today, Ikenobō has evolved into a global practice, promoting appreciation for nature through floral art, and it continues to influence modern ikebana designs.
