IKEBANA (the art of flower arrangement) began as floral offerings to the gods and Buddha in ancient Japan, and was formalized as an art form in the late 15th century.
|
This type of IKEBANA, which was termed RIKKA, reached its golden age and developed into a complicated style requiring higher techniques at the beginning of the 17th century. Meanwhile a more flexible and natural way of arranging flowers, called NAGEIRE, became popular.
NAGEIRE emphasizes the arranger's feelings and intentions rather than the fixed form. In the 18th century a type of IKEBANA combining characteristics of both RIKKA and NAGEIRE was created by the Misho school.
This is the classical and traditional KAKUBANA, the IKEBANA style typical of the school. |
