Mishō-ryū (未生流) is a school of Ikebana, or Japanese floral art.
It was established by Mishōsai Ippo in 1807 in the late Edo period in Osaka. He established the defining philosophy and style of the school.[1] At the time of its establishment, the culture of the townspeople was greatly developed, and many disciples gathered from there.[2]
Over the years that followed, there was a period of decline, but Mishō-ryū became known throughout western Japan with its activities mainly in the Kinki region. In the modern Shōwa era, the city was proud of its prosperity before the war, but was caught up in World War II and declined. After the war, it was a force to be reckoned with again.[3]
The founder Mishōsai Ippo initially practiced kadō, and in doing so, he turned the religious ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism into his fundamental ideas. In addition, the idea of finding peace of mind through flower arranging was integrated into the philosophy of the school.[4]
