Ikebana International Magazine is a globally recognized publication dedicated to the art and appreciation of ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. Produced by Ikebana International, a non-profit organization founded in 1956 by Ellen Gordon Allen, the magazine serves as both an artistic and cultural bridge, promoting international friendship through the study of ikebana and related arts. Published biannually, each issue features a rich blend of: - Floral arrangements from leading ikebana schools such as Ikenobo, Ohara, Sogetsu, and others - Articles on ikebana history, techniques, and seasonal themes - Cultural features on Japanese arts, aesthetics, and nature - Contributions from members and chapters around the world, showcasing local events, exhibitions, and original works. The magazine is beautifully illustrated, often with full-color photographs, and is both a source of inspiration and education for beginners, experienced practitioners, and anyone with an interest in Japanese culture. It reflects the spirit of ikebana: harmony, balance, and the beauty of impermanence. Whether used for study, reference, or visual enjoyment, Ikebana International Magazine is a valued resource in the global ikebana community.
