I am preparing to publish an e-book to promote Ikebana. It seems to be difficult to be called art but we should not take art as something created by geniuses. Ikebana conveys a message and something created with floral materials so I can say Ikebana is art.
One of my goals as a Japanese Culture Consultant is to share joy of Ikebana, traditional culture. The most important thing is not to know or learn about Ikebana but to experience. Touch,watch, seek out beauty and unique character,cut,and arrange flowers and branches. You will find your inner beauty in your Ikebana.
I am writing an e-book to encourage people to get flowers and try Ikebana and feel something new and different, maybe similar. I am choosing pictures. The first video is to show the place where Ikebana was born, Kyoto Japan in 15th
