Sen'ei Ikenobo

Sen'ei Ikenobo was a prominent Japanese flower arranger and a key figure in developing the Ikenobo school of ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. He is credited with refining and formalizing ikebana practices during the 15th and 16th centuries, emphasizing harmony, balance, and spiritual expression through floral displays. His work helped elevate ikebana from simple decoration to a respected art form that reflects mindfulness and aesthetic principles. Today, Sen'ei Ikenobo's legacy continues through the ongoing traditions of the Ikenobo school, which remains one of the oldest and most influential ikebana schools in Japan.
