Moribana


Officially Moribana is no longer a style connected to Ikenobo as it is a 19th century development within another school. The reason why it is mentioned here is that it is still being taught to beginners to initiate them in aspects such as composition, lines, proportions and combinations of flower or plant materials. Moribana (litt. "piled up flowers") consists of 2-4 materials arranged on a frogpin (Kenzan) in a bowl shaped container. The main lines (Yakueda) are Shin, Soe and Tai, which follow an upright position (Chokutai), a slanting position (Shatai) or a hanging fashion (Suitai).
