In the late 6th and early 7th century, the idea of flowers arranging first spread from China to Japan, along with Buddhism. It is also called ikebana(生け花) or Kado(華道) in Japan. Buddhism has a saying: “One flower, one world.” Based on that spirit, ikebana is no only about arranged flowers as a decoration, but also focus on help people embodies the season changes and time flies inside the room. In time, flower arranging became deeply rooted in Japanese life. Today, Japan has more than 2,000 schools of ikebana.
