This is a type of ikebana that is based on the highly decorative works
of the Rimpa School, which flourished during the Edo Period. The goal is
to capture in ikebana the decorative qualities of materials and the overall
design effects typical of Rimpa works of art. To this end, the unique characteristics
of plants are exaggerated or refined. For the most part, materials used
are those found in Rimpa paintings. Mastery of the Rimpa Arrangement depends
upon knowledge and study of the original works of the Rimpa artists.
