Ikebana (Japanese Flower Arrangement) Workshop in Beppu

Discover the calming beauty of ikebana in this hands-on workshop at Space Beppu, led by Minori-sensei, who has over ten years of experience. The session begins with a friendly and engaging introduction to the history and philosophy of ikebana, explained through a kamishibai paper storytelling style that makes learning easy and enjoyable.
More than just flower arrangement, ikebana teaches patience, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with nature. Participants also learn about sustainability by using loss flowers, helping to reduce waste and support Japan’s SDGs efforts. A short quiz and open, welcoming atmosphere make the workshop approachable even for first timers.
During the hands-on session, you will choose flowers based on your mood and create your own arrangement while learning about balance, length, and form. Even with the same materials, every arrangement becomes a unique personal expression. The workshop ends with a gentle musical moment, leaving participants relaxed, inspired, and with a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture.
