It is important to understand that Ikenobo is one of thousands of schools of Ikebana. When choosing a school it is recommended to do your research. All schools have their unique way of approaching Ikebana and therefore will appeal to people differently. Please keep in mind that it can be difficult to change schools once you begin your studies.

If you are interested in learning in the school of Ikenobo and would like to attend a group/private lesson the first step is to contact one of our teachers.
