Ikebana Formerly known as Kado, Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Martin Siepmann/ age fotostock
Secular art of Japanese floral arrangements, Ikebana takes its origins from the flowers offered in the Buddhist temples. It follows the rules dictated by a highly specific symbolism relating to nature. Stalks, leaves, soliflore, flowers,... all items come into play.
This art is practised during ceremonies, celebrations and as decoration in homes or businesses.
Like the tea ceremony, it is part and parcel of Japanese culture.
