History of Ikebana
Ikebana has been part of the Japanese culture for centuries, but it became a worldwide sensation with the founding of Ikebana International in 1956 by the late Ellen Gordon Allen. Her dream was to create an association uniting the
people of the world through their mutual love of nature and enjoyment of ikebana. Today, that dream has spread to over 44 countries/areas, with 138 chapters and a membership of nearly 7,000.
