A series of events devoted to the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun through the history of the Japanese garden in its various poetic stylistic forms and the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana.

One of the most striking aspects for those that approach study of Ikebana of the Ohara school is the enormous variety and differentiation of the compositional forms that are modelled on the rhythms and forms of the plant world. Within this school coexist without any contradictions the traditional spirit and styles and a search for highly innovative forms projected towards the future. Those who approach Ikebana Ohara take up a path that leads them through the study and practice of this ancient Japanese art, to express themselves in a wholly new way.

Speaker
