Sakura flower arrangements -

Visualize the phrase: "Floral arrangement" and you can almost smell it. In Ikebana floral arrangement, the material, the style of the arrangement; the size, shape, texture, volume and color of the container even the place and occasion for its display are all vitally important factors.
With the passage of time this art evolved into a sophisticated style of arranging flowers called "Rikka" (standing flowers) in 15th century. The new style in Ikebana called Moribana, literally "piled-up flowers" brought a total revolution in this art. This allowed the conception of landscape style called "shakei" in flower arrangement. The innovation in the art of flower arrangement continued. After the Meiji cult Ikebana further improved as zen'ei ikebana or zen'eibana. This new form of Ikebana was even more expressive than the old style. Women were conventionally schooled in Ikebana, tea ceremony and calligraphy in training for marriage. Flower arrangement today is established as one of the traditional arts in Japan. The most famous Ikebana schools are Ikebono, Ohara and Sogetsu. Most of the Ikebana school sprouts from Ikebono School even today Ikebono School alone has 60,000 teachers around the world. 15 million people in Japan practice Ikebana, typically young women.

We can divide Ikebana approximately into two styles. All the Ikebana schools mainly emphasis on the basic rule of proportion between material and container or the other way round. Sogetsu School that is just dedicated for Ikebana was formed by the founder Tofu Teshigahara in 1927.
