Ikebana Experience in Kyoto Townhouse

5.0
(9 reviews)
Kyoto, Japan

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. This traditional and formal art may seem esoteric, but this is not the case. Anyone is capable of creating a fantastic work of art by themselves after acquiring the basic concepts and fundamental skills of this art.

Learning ikebana promotes a better understanding of the Japanese view of nature; a crucial step in appreciating the unique aesthetics, emotions and thoughts that merge to create this visual art form. Flower arranging used to be a required "mannerism" for well-educated men, such as samurais or monks.

It would be a waste not to experience our genuinely unique culture!
