First Vietnamese flower arrangements on display in Japan

Ikebana, or ‘the way of flowers,’ dates back more than 500 years in Japan, according to Reuters.

The Rokkakudo temple, which is said to be the site associated with the birth of Ikebana, in Kyoto, Japan is currently the headquarters of Ikenobo, the oldest and largest school of the Japanese art of floral design.

Every year, Ikenobo organizes major Ikebana events at the temple, typically the hatsuke (first arranging) ritual, and the spring and autumn Ikebana exhibitions, or Tanabata.

Among those, the Ikenobo Autumn Tanabata Exhibition gathers flower arrangements created by students of Ikenobo schools across Japan and from overseas branches.

This year, the exhibition is themed ‘Unconstrained Beauty’ and features around 900 ikebana arrangements, according to Ikenobo’s website.

The organizer said that these Ikebana works show a different, fresh expression influenced by the harsh experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is in line with Ikenobo Ikebana’s spirit, which is not rigidly bound to any existing forms, is subject to daily life’s changes, and allows artists to creatively conduct arrangements.
