thumb|Shōka arrangement by the 40th headmaster Ikenobō Senjō, from the Sōka Hyakki by the Shijō school (1820) is the oldest and largest school of ikebana, the Japanese practice of giving plants and flowers invigorated new life.
The Buddhist practice of Ikenobo has existed since the building of the Rokkaku-do temple. The actual organized school institution was founded in the 15th century by the Buddhist monk Senno. The school is based at the Rokkaku-dō temple in Kyoto. The name is derived from the word combination of a pond (ike) where Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子) had originally bathed while looking for the Rokkaku-do temple building site and the small hut built near the pond for subsequent priests to live in (bo).
