Japanese Flower Arrangement, known as Ikebana, is a traditional art form that emphasizes harmony, balance, and simplicity. Unlike Western floral arrangements, which often focus on abundance, Ikebana uses fewer flowers and incorporates branches, leaves, and other natural elements to create a serene composition. Each element is carefully chosen and placed to convey meaning and evoke emotions. The practice of Ikebana dates back to the 7th century and has evolved into various styles over time. It is not just about aesthetics; it also reflects the changing seasons and the beauty of nature. Practitioners often find meditation and mindfulness in the process of arranging flowers.
