IKENOBOYS, a group of young men who is learning ikebana, was formed in November 2016 to promote and spread the greatness and significance of ikebana, a traditional culture of Japan. They now welcome new members and became a group of 12 men. They will continue to promote ikebana to the people who do not know what ikebana is and who have interest in ikebana through their ikebana performance and workshop. We appreciate your warm support for them.
