About Hanadayori

What kind of ikebana would you like to see? We will ask ikebana masters and practitioners around the world to make a special arrangement in response to requests and exhibit them at our online exhibition.

Hanadayori is a Japanese word that means that the flowers you have been waiting for have bloomed. In our Hanadayori you can get to see a published photo of your very own personal arrangement from Ikebana artists in response to your request.

Hanadayori is a major online event of Melbourne Ikebana Festival. 

This unique project not only connects ikebana artists with people all over the world, but in a world where the pandemic is causing so much suffering, these small connections though flowers might help to bring some joy and healing.

Due to popular demand, we put out a photo book, Hanadayori 2023.  We hope It will be sold to a global audience.
