New Publication: The Way of Ikebana
After delving into extensive literature on Ikebana, I believe that this text stands out as one of the most significant and profound works on Ikebana philosophy in contemporary times. It promises to unravel numerous confusions and misunderstandings surrounding Ikebana, offering invaluable insights into its essence. Shoso Shimbo, PhD.

New Publication - About Ikenobo Senno Kuden
Seeing the Invisible: Applying Discourse Analysis to the Introduction of Senno Kuden
Abstract
Senno Kuden (16th century) historically presents the most influential definition of ikebana, which includes both ontological and epistemological concerns in representation. Although the former contributed to the development of the common definition of ikebana as a symbolic representation of nature or the universe, the latter has been largely ignored. This study points out that the latter has not only significant meanings in understanding Senno’s teaching on ikebana, but also a strong connection with the traditional Japanese aesthetics that values contemplative awareness of the transiency of beings.

『専応口伝』における「面かげ」の形而上学
要旨
『専応口伝』序文にディスコース分析を応用し、従来あまり注目されてこなかった序文中の主要語「よろしき面かげ」の重要性について考察してみたい。「よろしき面かげ」はもうひとつの主要語「をのずからなる姿」とともに形而上学的な文脈で理解されるべきである。「をのずからなる姿」がいけ花を大自然の象徴的表現と定義したのに対し、「よろしき面かげ」はいけ花の始原についての定義と解釈できる。専応の教えは存在の無常性を瞑想を通じて認識することで、草や花の純粋な本質を捉え、それをもとにして挿してゆくものだということになる。さらにこの点において専応のいけ花の思想は日本の美意識の典型的な内的機構とも強い関連性があることが明らかになるのである。

A Proposal for Online Ikebana Training: Developing and Evaluating
a New Curriculum to Teach Ikebana as Meditation
Shoso Shimbo
Abstract
The first section of this study is a proposal for a new online ikebana curriculum. Since there is little educational research in ikebana, the proposal is largely a hypothesis based on the author’s experience. New attempts were made to develop a curriculum that values meditation rather than self-expression in the process of creating freestyle ikebana. The second section is a pilot study to evaluate the newly developed curriculum based on a short eight-item survey. Quantitative analysis shows that this curriculum helps advanced students (more than 6 years’ experience in ikebana) to improve their meditation, and qualitative data further confirms that their meditative experiences may not always be a positive experience for the individual, but it’s meaningful nevertheless. Results suggest that resources including video tutorials at the orientation stage contributed to encouraging the advanced level students in particular to meditate more effectively during the creative process of ikebana.
