Ikebana

 
Ikebana, a traditional Japanese flower arrangement art. This art form involves the careful arrangement of flowers, branches, leaves, and other natural materials. Ikebana aims to highlight aesthetics and symbolism as well as the beauty of nature. Each ikebana arrangement is displayed within a carefully chosen container and emphasizes the concepts of space and movement while creating a balanced composition. Ikebana is also considered a form of meditation in Japanese culture, and its study and practice can take many years. There are different ikebana schools and styles, each with its own techniques, rules, and meanings.
