"While painting is an expression of art drawn on a canvas with brush, ikebana is an expression in three dimensions composed of plant material arranged in a vase. Nature is our paint brush."

The art of Ikebana originated with Buddhist Monks as a form of meditation and as a tribute to Buddha.  In Japan, this beautiful art form was developed further to incorporate a physical form of meditation and harmony.  In history, Samurai warriors calmed their minds doing Ikebana before going into battle.  Today, contemporary Ikebana can be created in any home, building or office as a means of creating beauty and harmony in our everyday lifestyle.

Ikebana helps you to meditate while working with flowers, branches and greenery.  At the same time, it brings nature and adds beauty to your home.
