Ikebana, the Japanese art of arranging flowers, is a form of expression that dates back more than 500 years. It continues to blossom, quietly, not only with traditionalists but also with newcomers who find its blend of creativity and mindfulness to be restorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ikebana can be a bit like solving a puzzle, except there\u2019s no fixed answer. Because each flower, and human individual, is different, there are multiple solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a \u2018detox\u2019 purifying factor, and a healing,\u201d says Hiroyuki Okada, 40, who began taking lessons in ikebana about seven years ago. He now teaches Ikenobo, the oldest of three major ikebana schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okada, who also teaches backflips to anyone who wants to learn, usually wears silver chains and jeans, but he wears a nice kimono when he formally demonstrates his arrangements. He considers himself typical of those drawn to ikebana today, people looking for joy, purpose, or solace from the daily grind or pain of modern life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn arranging (flowers), you are dealing with the life that is there, the beauty, of course, but you find what\u2019s in your heart,\u201d said Okada. \u201cYou come face to face with yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kyoto-based Ikenobo school, which is rooted in Buddhism, now has chapters around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okada\u2019s previous job at a nonprofit involved talking to people from around the world, and he realized how different \u2014 and alike \u2014 people were. When he switched to his current job at a flower shop, he decided to take up a pursuit that was Japanese, so he could explore that aspect of himself, and one that could be done for a long time, alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ikebana involves interacting with nature, although on a small scale \u2014 usually in a little vase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is about the relationship of the creator with the flowers,\u201d said Senko Ikenobo, headmaster-designate of the Ikenobo school. Her family dates back generations to the originators of the art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeannette Haviland-Jones, professor of social psychology at Rutgers University, says studies have shown \u201cthat flowers and even flower scents promote happiness in people. We suggested a coevolutionary theory for this in which flowers became the \u2018pets\u2019 of the plant world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides a flower\u2019s beauty and fragrance, the feel of its petals and leaves to the touch is crucial, like petting a kitten or a puppy, according to Okada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are toddlers who do Ikenobo, copying their moms, and there are devoted centenarians. The headmaster-designate says she has seen ikebana help women who are juggling work and motherhood, or taking care of aging parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ikebana has a healing effect similar to that of yoga, meditation or play, says Mayu Shimizu, who works for an online educational service and has been taking lessons from Okada for about three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like this moment of nothingness when you are concentrating on the flowers before you,\u201d she says. \u201cMy mind feels clearer. I feel more at peace, and gentle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
