The word Ikebana means “life-filled” flowers or “flowers which have life.” The art of Ikebana has been practiced in Japan for more than six hundred years. There are now reputed to be over three thousand schools of Ikebana all over the world.
The instructor Valeria of IkebanaLessons.com has been practicing Ikebana for the past thirty years. She graduated from the Sangetsu School of Flower Arranging, Kado Sangetsu-Ryu, as an instructor on June of 1993. The Sangetsu School of Flower Arranging was established on June 15, 1972, inspired by flower arrangements of Mokichi Okada. The instructor follows Mokichi Okada’s philosophy. His philosophy gives guidance on how to make an arrangement that retains its life forces and is an expression of nature.If you would like to know more about the philosopher Mokichi Okada go to (http://www.izunome.org).
” Those who love and
Appreciate flowers - their
Grace and beauty, have
Hearts equally as beautiful.”
~Mokichi Okada~
