Ikebana or kadō (the way of the flower) is a Japanese style of flower arrangement. Ikebana is distinguished from other forms of flower arrangement by the positioning of flowers, stems, and other plant materials in relation to the container and the surrounding space. Today, there are an array of styles and variations, both modern and traditional. Sogetsu Ikebana is a style of Japanese floral art that encourages creative expression.
