Ikebana - Delicate flowers among the ancient stones
Exhibition, demonstration and workshops

From September 28 to October 2, 2022, in the Eastern sector of the Roman Stadium in Plovdiv, you will be able to view an ikebana exhibition, see a demonstration of how ikebana is made, lectures and talks, and participate in ikebana workshops.

Ikebana is a Japanese art that inspires us to create and express our unique selves through the beauty of flowers. The Miracle Ikebana exhibitions will showcase the diversity of ikebana – from simple and sparing compositions, through sculptural colorful compositions, to large, rich compositions characteristic of the Sogetsu school. Visitors to the Miracle Ikebana exhibitions describe them as "a walk in beauty", "beautiful, interesting, fresh, creating a mood", "very beautiful and soothing", "breathtaking compositions", "a feast for the senses", "colorful inspiration". Visitors to the exhibitions in Plovdiv will relive these emotions, see authentic Japanese vases in the Bizen style and demonstrations of ikebana, and will be able to experience the joy of creating ikebana by joining the workshops.

Miroslava Ivanova Hosen, ikebana artist and teacher 3rd degree (Sankiu Shihan) from the most advanced ikebana school in the world, Sogetsu School of Ikebana, will give an ikebana demonstration during the official opening of the exhibition.
