Beautiful Mediation is a nickname I gave to Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging. It has over 550 years history originated in Kyoto, Japan. Form people to people skills and technique have been handed form generation to generation under changes of society and lifestyles. I am fortunate to share same experience; peace and serenity by learning and doing Ikebana. I would like you to introduce this experience. Also discover new beauty in nature and inner you.

I would like to make Ikebana: the Japanese art of flower arranging accessible to everyone. Long time ago only upper class people like nobles and Daimyo, could enjoyed Ikebana and then middle class could around 18th century.
After World War 2 Japan was so much influenced by American culture and the value of traditional cultures have been forgotten. These days people think Ikebana is something distant, only for those who have family and friends learned, are learning, Ikebana.
Just by observing plants and flowers closely and arranging them you will appreciate beauty of nature and life of plants and flowers. You will also experience peace and feeling away from daily busy days. I have been writing draft for e-book about Ikebana now.
