Ikenobo Ikebana Society
Lonely Planet review for Ikenobo Ikebana Society
Even shoppers hell-bent on iron teapots and maneki neko (waving kitty) figurines stop and stare at the arrangements in the windows here. This is the oldest and largest society outside Japan for ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, and has the displays to prove it: a curly willow branch tickling a narcissus under its chin in an abstract jiyubana (freestyle) arrangement, and a traditional seven-part rikka landscape featuring pine and iris.
