Carrying on the tradition through mutual understandings: Ikenobo Sydney’s 30th anniversary flower exhibition in August
The art of Japanese ikebana, or flower arrangement, has been a beloved tradition in Australia, with Ikenobo being the oldest and largest school, boasting over 550 years of history in Japan. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Ikenobo Sydney chapter is hosting a special flower exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW in August. This momentous occasion will feature a demonstration by Senkō Ikenobo, the Headmaster Designate of Ikenobo, as well as an appearance by Aya Shibata, president of the Sydney chapter.
The Ikenobo school of ikebana has been a cornerstone of Japanese culture for centuries, and its Sydney chapter has been instrumental in sharing this tradition with the Australian community. The upcoming exhibition promises to be a spectacular showcase of this ancient art form, with Senkō Ikenobo and Aya Shibata offering unique insights into the world of ikebana.
