Ikebana: The Japanese art of flower arrangement
Ikebana- what attracted me to this art form of traditional Japanese flower arrangement? Many Japanese words tickle my soul by their sheer beauty and the deeper meaning they signify. Like "Ikigai"- meaning a reason for being; the thing that gets you up in the morning and "Ukiyo"- meaning "the floating world"-living in the moment, detached from the bothers of life. So what in Ikebana that made me connect? Was it just the word, or was it something more?
