    Opening Passage of Senno Kuden

    I have heard that from ancient times People filled vases with flowers. But that was mere enjoyment of beauty without appreciating the deeper essence of flowers and plants, a simple placing of stems in a vase. In Ikenobo, however, the original forms of plants of field, mountain, and pond are expressed in ikebana using both flowers and leaves, showing our impression of the inner essence of plants. This tradition begun by our ancestors, is now enjoyed both far, and wide.
