About Hanakoryu
Hanakoryu originated from the classical style of Seika in mid Edo era (1760 ’s) and it now has a variety of Ikebana styles including Moribana, Nageire, and Gendaibana.
Seika is based on the three core elements of the universe: Ten (heaven), Chi (earth) and Jin (human beings). Plain branches (e.g. Hiba, Kyara) are arranged into beautiful curves with the style of Seika, which is also known as the Golden Rule.

 

Moribana and Nageire are collectively called as Jiyuka. One of the characteristics of Jiyuka is that the plants are arranged so that it reflects how plants are like naturally, with just a little bit ofartistic touches. Today, however, Jiyuka incorporates new trends influenced by foreign flowers and various type of vases.
