Ikebana International is a worldwide organization founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1956 by the late Ellen Gordon Allen. Its members are dedicated to promoting the mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and other countries through ikebana (the art of Japanese flower arrangement) and other related arts of Japan.
Ikebana International (I.I.) is a non-profit cultural organization in Japan and today boasts over 10,000 members with chapters in more than 50 countries. Ikebana International is governed by volunteers of many different nationalities and ikebana schools. Some of the ikebana schools stress classic styles; others focus on creative, contemporary forms, while others blend the two. Please visit Ikebanainternational.org for details.
Membership is open to all persons interested in the art of ikebana and the ideas of I.I., regardless of their previous experience.
