VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Take the time to try ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, while in the historic city of Kyoto. Create a fantastic work of art after acquiring the basic concepts and fundamental skills, then see your personal experiences, emotions, and thoughts take shape through the visual art form of flowers. Flower arrangement is often falsely regarded as a female art form. However, traditionally ikebana was a required skill for well-educated men, such as samurai or monks. Learning ikebana allows you to understand the Japanese view of nature, a crucial step in appreciating the unique aesthetics of Japanese culture.
