Ohara-ryū
is a school of ''Ikebana'', or Japanese floral art. History Ohara Unshin (小原雲心) (1861–1916) started his own Ikebana school in 1895 when Japan opened up its economy to the West and began to import European flowers. The official founding date was in 1912. For the purpose of this art form, he developed shallow, circular, ceramic vases, which became known as the ''moribana'' style. Ohara's son Koun (小原光雲) (1880–1938) invented a descriptive teaching method and moved from individual lessons to group classes. For the first time, teaching certificates were awarded to women. Under Houn's guidance, the school grew. Its headquarters were in Tokyo and Kobe, with other centers in New York and São Paulo. He developed the typical landscape style, as well as the ''rimpa'' and '' bunjin'' floral arrangements. The inspirations for ''rimpa'' came to him from rolling picture scrolls, screens (''byōbu'') and painted subjects of the 17th century. Chinese poetry became the fo ...

Moribana
''Moribana'' (盛り花, 盛花) is one of the expressions of Japanese flower arrangement ''Ikebana''. The word ''Moribana'' means "full bloom flowers". History This style was introduced by Unshin Ohara around 1890 after the Meiji Restoration of 1868. ''Moribana'' is not only an expression of Unshin Ohara’s creative departure from '' Ikenobo'', but was also a strong sign of the Western influence in Japan. The arranged flowers may be placed in Western-style rooms and entranceways, not just in the ''tokonoma'' alcove found in traditional Japanese-style rooms. While distinctly a hallmark of the Ohara school, ''moribana'' has become one of the standard forms learned and created by ''Ikebana'' practitioners regardless of school or style affiliation. ''Moribana'' is often associated with '' nageire'', and although the two styles share similarities, their historic development is different, ''nageire'' being older.

Nageirebana
''Nageirebana'' (抛入花), also known as simply ''nageire'' (抛入 "thrown in"), is a style of ''ikebana''. It is also known as ''Heika'' (瓶花). History It is associated with the legendary story of a samurai. The legend states that a ''samurai'', bored on a hot summer day, threw plant material into the small opening of a tall, deep vase on the opposite corner of the room. Thus this style received its name. This form utilizes fresh and spontaneous designs that adhere only loosely to the classical principles of triangular structure and color harmony. Therefore, ''nageirebana'' is less formal than ''rikka'', which was developing around the same time. ''Nageirebana'' was also practiced and around the time that ''chabana'' and ''seika'' were developing. ''Chabana'' is considered by some as another form of ''nageirebana'' since the principles of the casual style are similar. At some point later the term was shortened to just ''nageire''. ''Nageire'' is sometimes associated w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bunjin
, also known as , was a school of Japanese painting which flourished in the late Edo period among artists who considered themselves literati, or intellectuals. While each of these artists was, almost by definition, unique and independent, they all shared an admiration for traditional Chinese culture. Their paintings, usually in monochrome black ink, sometimes with light color, and nearly always depicting Chinese landscapes or similar subjects, were patterned after Chinese literati painting, called ''wenrenhua'' () in Chinese. Etymology The name ''nanga'' is an abbreviation of ''nanshūga'', referring to the Southern School () of Chinese painting, which is also called "literati painting" (). History Chinese literati painting focused on expressing the rhythm of nature, rather than the technical realistic depiction of it. At the same time, however, the artist was encouraged to display a cold lack of affection for the painting, as if he, as an intellectual, was above caring de ...
