Rokkakudo is a Buddhist temple and the birthplace Ikenobo school of ikebana.

Ikenobo's palace.
including the office and private schools, is great.
front of the building there is a great work of ikebana


Back of this building is the entrance of the temple Chohoji.
The temple is small.



The main building has a hexagonal shape, it is called
Rokkakudo.


North in the temple, there is an artificial lake.
Inside the lake, where a swan is standing
there are the remains of the little lake town, where
Shotoku Taishi has taken a bath.


The name is based Ikenobo on this ancient lake. Pond in Japanese is called "ike". While Bo (boh or boo) wanted to Buddhist temples. The monks of this temple
historically put flowers to the statue, Nyoirin-Kannon, Sanskrit chintamanicakra. The way of dedicating flowers has become famous for its beauty and singularity. Thus was the origin of the Ikenobo school. Ikenobo is the oldest school of ikebana. The governing of Ikenobo are more numerous than in other schools. The current head of the school and the chief monks of the temple is Ikenobo Sen'ei, 45 th "iemoto" (the head master of masters).
