Kyoto "Ikebana" (Flower arranging)
Artist: Vise Head of the Misho School Noriho Sasaoka

    Japanese culture has myriad facets.
    Ikebana, or flower arranging, is one aspect of Japanese culture that expresses the life of living things and uses this life as material.
    A flower blooms, then, eventually, scatters to the wind. It is the movement of this life that Ikebana brings to you, in rhythm with the changing of the four seasons in Japan.

"Misho" means "signs of a boundless future."
It brings with it the sense that good fortune is sure to come.
