Tokonoma Arrangements

Japanese Friendship Garden & Museum
San Diego
What is a Tokonoma?

Tokonoma is a uniquely Japanese architectural feature
that provides a designated space for displaying art.
This aesthetic focal point of the home may include an Ikebana arrangement,
a landscape scroll, bonsai, or other objects of beauty
that together express a three-dimensional story of harmony and transience.
The overall result is an uncluttered sense of upliftment and
seasonal connection to nature.
