      [SAMPLE] Philosophy and Principles

      · About Ikebana

      At the heart of Ikebana lies a philosophy that values nature, space, and the beauty of imperfection. This blog post explores the guiding principles of Ikebana, including the use of line, balance, and asymmetry, and how these elements reflect the broader concepts of Japanese art and life. Kado Sensho Ikenobo is about bringing the outside nature into the home in a way that respects nature. Practioners believe in the core concepts that nature is not to be managed by manipulation but by accept as it is. Line refers to the placement of the main subjects, but can also mean the line the eye takes through the design to the negitive space or "Ma". Balance and asymmetry go hand in hand in the designs. While balance means creating harmonious relationships of all the elements. Asymmetry is about creating dynamic designs by using imperfection over perfection symmetry.
