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''.

is a school of ''Ikebana'', or Japanese floral art.

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.
