Ikenobō
is the oldest and largest school of ''ikebana'', the Japanese art of floral design. It was founded in the 15th century by the Buddhist monk Senno. The school is based at the Rokkaku-dō temple in Kyoto. The name is derived from a pond (''ike'') where Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子) was bathing. History The custom of placing flowers on the altar began when Buddhism was introduced to Japan by way of emissaries to China in about 538. In Japan people tried to give deeper meaning to the thoughts accompanying flower arranging. In other words, they wished to arrange flowers (''tateru'', to arrange stems in an upright or standing manner), rather than casually placing them in a vase. An earlier attitude of passive appreciation developed into a more deeply considered approach. Early forms of Ikebana referred to as ''tatehana'' were arranged. The Rokkaku-dō in Kyoto is the site of the birth and earliest development of ''ikebana''. The name ''Rokkaku'' refers to the hexagonal shape o ...
