This autumn, discover three seasonal ikebana arrangements displayed in the ground floor of Japan House London.
Ikebana, often translated as ‘giving life to flowers’ and also known as kadō (lit. ‘the way of flowers’), originated over 550 years ago in Japan and has since evolved into numerous schools, each with their own distinctive philosophy and style.
This display presents three autumnal arrangements by practitioners of the Ikenobō, Ohara and Sōgetsu schools, offering a glimpse into the diversity of contemporary ikebana.
