Moribana (Moribana) literally translates from Japanese as "accumulated flowers", it is a style of ikebana that originated in the early 20th century. This is one of the two main styles of ikebana taught at the Sogetsu (Sogetsu) school, the other is Nageirebana (Nageirebana).
Creating the Moribana style was an attempt to deviate from the more formal and strict forms of ikebana that were popular until then. It focuses on freer and more natural material teaching, usually in a flat weight and using kenzan to hold flowers and branches.
Moribana is often used to create landscape compositions that reproduce scenes from nature. It can be a simple scene with a flower and a stone, or more complex visual images such as mountains and waterfalls.
This style is considered relatively easy for ikebana beginners because it allows for freer use of materials and techniques, but at the same time it allows for the deep symbolism and aesthetics that characterize ikebana.
