About us

Ichi Ling translates to "one single flower" in Japanese. In Ikebana, this concept is embraced as each flower is arranged with individual respect and consideration. We keep this respectful approach in mind when arranging flowers.

 

My name is Naoko, a certified instructor at the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. I offer Ikebana classes and workshops regularly, where I'm frequently asked to recommend vases and tools suitable for this art. In my shop, you'll find a curated selection of vases and tools that I personally use and endorse for Ikebana. Ikebana, which translates to "arranging flowers" or "bringing flowers to life," is a revered Japanese art form, also known as Kado, meaning "The way of flowers." This aesthetic practice is not just visually appealing but also offers a peaceful and fulfilling experience.

In 2022, I released my first book, "Inspired Ikebana," filled with easy-to-understand, detailed guides to crafting beautiful decorations and mastering different Ikebana styles. Ikebana offers an endless journey of learning, blending simplicity with profound, intricate beauty. I wish for you to find joy and a sense of tranquility in your Ikebana practice, embracing its calming, meditative qualities.
