History
There are many schools of Ikebana. A formal school of Ikebana was established in the 15th Century in Kyoto, Japan, at the site of the present Ikenobo school. Ikenobo continues to be one of the leading Ikebana schools today. Other schools in California include Aratame, Enshu, Ichiyo, Ohara, Sogetsu and WafuKai. Today there are more than 3,000 Ikebana schools worldwide. In the Monterey Bay area we have classes conducted by member teachers in the Ikenobo, Ohara and Sogetsu Schools.
