Tōkō is a traditional Japanese art form that involves the intricate practice of flower arrangement, known as ikebana. This technique emphasizes harmony, balance, and simplicity, often using minimal materials to create a striking visual impact. Tōkō arrangements typically focus on the natural beauty of flowers and their placement within a space. In addition to flowers, tōkō may incorporate branches, leaves, and other natural elements, reflecting the changing seasons. The practice is not just about aesthetics; it also encourages mindfulness and a deeper connection to nature. Tōkō is often taught in schools and workshops, promoting cultural appreciation and artistic expression.
