Ikenobō (池坊) is the oldest and largest school of ikebana, the Japanese art of floral design. It was founded in the 15th century by the Buddhist monk Senno. The school is based at the Rokkaku-dō temple in Kyoto.[1] The name is derived from a pond (ike) where Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子) was bathing.[citation needed] | ||||||
