Instant intrigue: My encounter with ikebana

On every Friday morning during the summer of 2008 at the Japanese American National Museum, a new work of ikebana is put on display for the special exhibition entitled Living Flowers. It can literally be said that this is a ‘living work of art,’ as opposed to paintings or photography. On one Friday morning in early August, I was able to witness one of these new installments. In one corner of the venue, there was a man drenched in sweat, working on his piece with a marked intensity. That man, now in his 20th ...

Comforted and calmed by flowers: Relationships born through flowers

The history of Ikenob? is synonymous to the history of ikebana. Acclaimed as the “roots of ikebana,” Ikenob? has a longstanding tradition of over 500 years. The current iemoto (grand master), Sen’ei Ikenob?, represents the 45th generation. Ikenob? has evolved from simple arrangements of flowers in the tokono-ma (living room alcove) of Japanese houses, and now has three established styles called tachibana, ikebana, and jiyu-bana (free-form).

Youka Shiba, the current district vice-chair of the Los Angeles district Ikenob?, decided to take up flower arrangement with the influence of her foster ...
