Bringing
the Art of Ikebana to the World
" There are many kinds
of art. Music uses sound as its raw materials, just as painting
uses colors. In creating works of art, sculpture is formed
out of stone, wood, or metal, literature out of words. Ikebana
is an art whose main materials are tree branches and flowering
plants. People often argue whether Ikebana is a true art or
not. I feel that art is anything that moves a person's spirit
through the emotional impact of beauty."
