Ikenobo School

Last week several readers pointed out the easy way to identify Sogetsu school is by the materials used. I agree. This week, we will see few pictures from ikenobo school, which is the oldest ikebana school.

In the following links you can learn about the ikenobo school:

Here are three arrangements by the local Ikenobo artists:



The first two arrangements are in traditional style, especially the first one. The third one is in free style, you would notice that the materials are conventional.

Enjoy the arrangements and Happy Monday!

In Friendship through Flowers,
Yirou.
