Ikebana Experience in Kyoto Townhouse

Mobile ticket
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. This traditional and formal art may seem esoteric, but this is not the case. Anyone is capable of creating a fantastic work of art by themselves after acquiring the basic concepts and fundamental skills of this art.
Learning ikebana promotes a better understanding of the Japanese view of nature; a crucial step in appreciating the unique aesthetics, emotions and thoughts that merge to create this visual art form. Flower arranging used to be a required "mannerism" for well-educated men, such as samurais or monks.
It would be a waste not to experience our genuinely unique culture!

5.00Book now - I wish I had done all three classes, but the other two were full one day prior. Kimi fit me into the one class, she was welcoming, personable, and knowledgeable. She started with the history of Ikebana and always stopped to ask if I was understanding her along the way. Her English is very good, and she is a natural teacher - HIGHLY recommend!!

5.00I can recommend the lesson whole heartedly. Kimi is a great teacher and a really kind person. She explained the basic well before we started to try to do our own Ikebana. The atmosphere there was very relaxing and we could really let our selfs go.
