Overview

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, a timeless practice that dates back centuries. This art form may seem esoteric and inaccessible at first glance, but with just a little basic knowledge and practice, anyone can create their own flower arrangements. Learning ikebana offers insight into the essence of the Japanese perception of nature. Flower arranging was once a mandatory "mannerism" for well-educated men, such as samurais and Buddhist monks.
We invite you to step into the world of a traditional machiya, a captivating Japanese townhouse that Kyoto was once filled with and learn with a teacher who has studied and practiced Ikebana for 20 years, inspired by her mother and aunt who are Ikebana masters.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance of a quaint, yet elegant space and discover how to arrange Japanese flowers.
