Ikebana Arrangement

You can experience Ikebana, a traditional Japanese art, at the main hall of the temple, an important cultural asset.

Ikebana, meaning "living flowers" or "arranging flowers," is the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. Far beyond simply putting flowers in a vase, Ikebana is a disciplined art form that intricately brings nature and humanity together.

It involves not just fresh flowers, but also branches, leaves, vines, and other natural elements, sometimes even incorporating dried or wilted materials to reflect the passage of time.

Ikebana is steeped in philosophical depth, emphasizing line, form, space, minimalism, symbolism, and meditative practice. Deeply rooted in Buddhist principles, it expresses an appreciation of nature's beauty, impermanence, and the cycle of life, ultimately seeking to convey a sense of harmony, balance, and profound symbolism.

It's a living art that constantly evolves while maintaining its profound traditional roots.
