Ikebana is a Japanese cultural art taught in 22 countries with a history over 600 years old. In this style of floral design the empty space you create is more important than the space you fill. One flower does the work of a dozen allowing the special nature of individual materials to create a sense of abundance and interest. Ikebana shares the joy of nature’s seasons while being creative with what grows around you. Experience an Ikebana exhibit or class in your area.
