Why Ikebana feels different
Ikebana isn’t about filling a vase. It’s about restraint, intention, and letting the season lead - which is exactly why it’s often linked to a quieter, more “Zen” way of living. The Ohara School (established 1895) is known for modern Ikebana styles that capture natural landscapes and the feeling of the season.
