Powerful beauty

Nature is not only the wellspring of man's existence but also the one which defines the vital spirit of beauty. Flowers, needless to say, represent such beauty. Ikebana, the millenary japanese art of flower arrangements, is unique. Its endless studies not only bring knowledge, but above everything, wisdom. Our relation with flowers can be developed and deepened through this eternal exercise of patience and self-knowledge. Flowers, true to the meaning of the word ikebana, "live longer" in the container and their healing energy is certain.

Have one beside you today and feel their power!

“Those who have the warm desire of becoming equal to the beauty of the flowers, have their hearts similar to them” (Meishu-Sama, founder of Sanguetsu-Ryu Academy)
