The combination of Ikebana and haiku is a more than successful one. The similarities between the arts go far beyond their Japanese roots.

Poetical Ikebana wants to emphasize the fruitful interaction between Ikebana and haiku.
It shows how traditional and contemporary haiku are interpreted and translated by Ikebana-artists worldwide, Poetical Ikebana offers a delightful diversity of inspirational arrangements that will stir the senses and touch the heart.
