Ikebana refers to the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. It involves carefully arranging flowers, branches, and other natural elements in a way that emphasizes balance, harmony, and beauty.
Shin (真): Shin refers to the main branch or stem in an ikebana arrangement. It represents heaven or the divine element.
Soe (副): Soe refers to the secondary branches or stems in an ikebana arrangement. They support and complement the main branch, representing earth or human beings.
Moribana (盛花): Moribana is a style of ikebana where flowers are arranged in a shallow container with water. It allows for more freedom in design compared to other styles.
