Moribana
An ikebana style arranged in a wide, shallow container, with stems fixed on a kenzan.
Moribana means piled-up flowers. The arrangement is built in a low open dish, so the surface of the water is seen and becomes part of the picture, like a pond in a landscape. Stems are fixed on a kenzan. The style was introduced in the late 19th century by Ohara Unshin, founder of the Ohara school, partly to make room for the Western flowers then arriving in Japan. It is often the first style a student learns.
