Ikebana Classes in London

If you’re searching for Ikebana classes in London, you’re invited to discover the tranquil art of Japanese flower arrangement with the London School of Ikebana - Ohara Branch. Rooted in centuries of tradition, ikebana is more than floral design—it’s a meditative practice that celebrates balance, simplicity, and the natural beauty of every stem and petal.

What Is Ikebana?

Ikebana (生け花), meaning “living flowers,” is the ancient Japanese art of arranging flowers in harmony with nature. Each arrangement embodies balance and seasonality, encouraging mindfulness and creativity. Unlike Western flower arranging, ikebana values space, form, and movement, transforming natural materials into elegant expressions of life.

The Ohara School: Tradition and Innovation

At our London School of Ikebana - Ohara Branch, we follow the teachings of Unshin Ohara, who founded the school in Japan in the late 19th century. The Ohara-ryū is famous for its moribana style—a revolutionary approach that uses shallow containers to reflect the beauty of natural landscapes and seasonal scenes. This style makes ikebana both grounded in tradition and open to modern creativity.
