There are a minimal amount of blooms in the arrangement. The point is to draw attention to the shape, form, and line of the piece. Ikebana (\u751f\u3051\u82b1) uses the kanji from \u751f\u3051\u308b, which means living and \u82b1 for flower. Together it translates to living flower. There are many different styles to use, but the common ones are rikka (standing flowers), seika or shoka (living flowers), nageire (flung flowers) and\u00a0moribana (piled up flowers). The container of the ikebana is very important as it will decide the style you will use. When practicing ikebana you are to be silent and patient because you are supposed to enjoy nature and bask in it rather than rush it. It is a discipline that teaches you to take your time and look around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ikebana is a form of flower arrangement that puts much emphasis on the stems and leaves.
