Ikebana tradicional em Kyoto (pequeno grupo)

I was lucky enough to be the only person there, so I had a private lesson. It was very peaceful, creative and informative and I felt I got a really good understanding of the basic principles. It has rekindled my interest in ikebana, and I hope to keep it up.

This workshop was a major highlight of my Japan trip! It was a wonderful experience—educational, inspiring, and genuinely fun. Fooraku’s enthusiasm for the art form is contagious, and it was clear that he truly wanted us to learn and feel inspired. He taught from first principles, which made the practice feel accessible and gave me the confidence to continue studying on my own. I’m excited to go home and keep practicing ikebana. I even picked up a great book there to support my learning. Highly recommended!

A great workshop, initial ideas started with a very good introduction and creative work. Highly recommended. Fooruka is relaxed as a beginner constructively shows me the Ikebana art/philosophy, a very good teacher.

So grateful to Master Fooraku for such an insightful and moving Ikebana class. It was so much more than just flower arranging — every placement, every stem held meaning. His calm presence and deep philosophy behind the art made the experience truly special. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.

The Ikebana course was a great experience! Although I did it alone, I had great conversations. Both with Fooraku and with the participants. Fooraku was warm, interested and took a lot of time for each individual participant. You can tell he does this work with passion. With the prepared presentation at the beginning, the creation with the plants was easy afterwards. I would visit this course again at any time. He inspired me and let me dive deep into the arts of Japan. Thank you, Fooraku!

Beautiful class and Fooraku was a great instructor with a big heart. He shared how ikebana fit into the broader japanese culture

Very interesting and fun to do. The super experienced teacher helped in a relaxed way. In the meanwhile you learn some extra things about Japanese culture.

Master Fooraku is an expert ikebana teacher who has been studying the art for over 30 years. He is very knowledgeable and his English was good. It was a fun learning experience that I would certainly recommend to anyone interested in floral arts.

Amazing first introduction to Ikebana by Master Fooraku! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it's a very unique and memorable way to spend time experiencing Japanese culture in Kyoto. Master Fooraku is a great teacher and the experience is pitched at just the perfect level.

I took Fooraku's ikebana class with my friends. I have joined Western flower arrangement classes before, but this was my first ikebana class. I was impressed by the technique of expressing beauty with a few flowers as opposed to flower arrangements that use many flowers. Fooraku explained us about the tools and how to cut and put the flowers in a vase. He used seasonal flowers, so I tought I can enjoy ikebana whole year! His instructions was very eazy to understand and follow, so I was so satisfied with my work!! He even gave us the certification at the end of the class and made me happy! If you have chance to go to Kyoto, don't miss it!! highly recommend!
