Ikebana Demonstration by Ohara Ikebana School

12:15pm
Ikebana (生け花) is also known as kadō (華道, "way of flowers"). The tradition dates back to the Heian period (794 to 1185), where floral offerings were made at altars.
In the Muromachi period (1336-1573) Ikebana was established as an art form and became used to decorate the tokonoma (alcove).
Ikebana is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement, along with kōdō for incense appreciation and chadō for tea and the tea ceremony.
Our demonstrators are members of the Ohara 小原流 School. The school emphasises seasonal qualities, natural growth processes, and the beauty of natural environments as the observation of nature is of core importance.
