Ikebana Without Kenzan: A Wabi-Sabi Arrangement

In this video, Ekaterina explores a Wabi-sabi Ikebana arrangement without kenzan, working instead with gravity, balance, and natural support — a method often explored in Sogetsu Ikebana. Branches are laid rather than fixed, allowing the composition to rest, shift, and find its own stability. 🌸 What you’ll see: Working without kenzan using gravity-based support Choosing materials that express impermanence Balancing water, empty space, and line Allowing flowers to remain modest within the structure Rather than building upward, the composition moves outward, as if shaped by wind, memory, and passing seasons.
