Ikebana is steeped in the Zen philosophy of developing a closeness and communication between Nature and ourselves.   Ikebana is much more than mere floral decoration. Its heart is the beauty resulting from color combinations, natural shapes, graceful lines, empty spaces and the meaning latent in the total form of the arrangement. ~ Valeria, a qualified artist and teacher gives Ikebana lessons in Auroville, Tamil Nadu, South India. Classes can be in Italian, English or Japanese.   ~ more about Ikebana   ~ About Valeria, Ikebana teacher & artist   ~ Back to Kenji - Japanese hand-crafted furniture
