This truth has long been recognized in Japan, where Ikenaba—the ancient art of flower arranging—has been used for centuries to bring harmony to living spaces. Ikebana is a rewarding, insightful, and relaxing practice, and it can totally transform a domestic space—but, as a fine art, it can also be very challenging.
