Ikebana Workshop At Bujuman- Symphony For The Soul

Buzzingtales found out about the beauty of asymmetry at the Ikebana flower workshop held to initiate the media about the Japanese art of flower arranging at Burjuman Mall on occasion of the on-going “Flower Power” event . The beautiful composition is a symphony of “empty” spaces and  assymetrical forms highlighting elegant lines, natural beauty and simplicity through arrangement of flowers in a disciplined manner. Practiced for more than 6 centuries  Ikebana originally began as flower offring for Lord Buddha. Ikebana is derived from Ikeru (to make live, and to keep alive) and Hana meaning (flower), and accentuates the characteristics of flower and their harmonized splendor.

Our petite Ikebana Instructor Ms Haraue Oki is a certified Associate Second Master in Ikebana from the Ohara school of Ikebana. She has been practicing since the age of 15 and had taught in London, Tokya, Paris and now in Dubai. Working with flowers, scissors, Kenzan (Needle point flower holder) and a flat vase  Buzzingtales was mesmerized by the exquisite construct they created along with 10 other media colleagues. Though all of worked along similar instruction we created 11 different compositions. This art form is indeed therapeutic and Buzzingtales strongly recommends this to all.
