Discover the peaceful and meditative art of Ikebana. Rie Day will explain the Japanese expression of natural beauty through flower arrangement.

Rie is a professor and president of the UK London Branch of the Ikenobo School, a prestigious ikebana institution based in a historic Kyoto temple with over 550 years of tradition.

Ikebana, the general word for flower arrangement in Japan, is focused on finding the balance and essence of the materials used, in such a way that they are displayed to their utmost beauty and perfection.
