Mariko Shimizu – Ikebana
The traditional Japanese art of flower arranging – ikebana presented by Mariko Shimizu, wife of the Ambassador of Japan.
Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, in which the beauty of the plants matters, but so do harmony, space, form and a connection with nature.
In ikebana compositions, flowers, branches and other plants are carefully combined to express natural beauty and create an aesthetic, balanced arrangement. This art is grounded in a Japanese philosophy that values simplicity, moderation and respect for nature.
Ikebana is more than a bouquet of flowers. It is a creative practice that invites you to pause, observe nature and discover beauty in simplicity.
