The word Ikebana comes from two characters:"ike"meaning"to be alive" and "hana"meaning "flowers".
The "H" is changed phonetically to "B" when spoken.

Ikebana is a traditional Japanese art that has flourished since the sixteenth century.
Ikenobo is said to be the origin of Ikebana.

Today's Ikenobo styles include "Rikka","Shoka"and especially modern "Free style".

When I arrange Ikebana,I pay close attention to each flower and each branch.
So I feel that I breathe new life into them.
