Sensei

0.0 x 0.0

For many years I studied the Japanese floral art of ikebana. I love the Japanese way of negative space around the flowers and the simplified way that makes each flowers special. My teacher asked her teacher, Sensei, to do a demonstration of his Ikenobo style, I was taken with his contemplative way to hold the flower and consider the best way to make the arrangement. The Ikenobo school is one of many schools in ikebana. It is considered the oldest school and thus the most traditional to the culture.
