A master of the art: Nobuko Munidasa
Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, is a philosophical practice rooted in balance, line and space, an art that reflects mindfulness and harmony with nature. Mrs. Munidasa began studying Ikebana at the age of 12, and by 19, was awarded the prestigious title of Master in the Ohara School of Ikebana, one of Japan’s most innovative and globally recognized schools.
Having moved to Sri Lanka in the early 1980s, Mrs. Munidasa began introducing many to the art through exhibitions and personal instruction. The grace and precision of Ikebana have since become embedded in her family’s broader cultural expression. Her son, the well known Chef, Dharshan Munidasa credits his Japanese heritage as foundational to the creation of Nihonbashi, his popular Japanese restaurant.
