Ikebana Headmaster Visited Beijing

2004/07/01

Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form and balance, has become a popular leisure activity in China. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Beijing Branch of Ikenobo invited their Headmaster Sen'ei Ikenobo to visit and perform in Beijing.

Ikenobo's history of over 500 years is a history of searching for essential truths in the life of flowers and plants. Though some schools separated from Ikenobo, it has always been regarded as the originator of ikebana.

Sen'ei Ikenobo gave a lecture to the Beijing Branch members and performed the art of ikebana at the Century Theatre.
