The art of flower arranging, Ikebana is said to have originated from early Buddhist flower offerings. Also known as kado, or the “way of flowers,” Ikebana is intertwined with manners and etiquettes, and has over time established itself as a unique Japanese art. Nowadays Ikebana has been divided into many schools with each one differing in their ways of presenting flowers. What differentiates Ikebana from Western flower arrangement is that Ikebana considers how the arrangement looks from only one direction.
Although not much emphasis was placed on vases and low shallow containers in arranging flowers in its early stage, their role has grown very important over time, resulting in a close relationship with pottery. As presenting flowers strongly reflects Japanese cultural aesthetics, it would be interesting to compare it with Western aesthetics.
