Japanese floral art takes center stage: dive into the poetry of plants in the heart of Paris!

In search of a zen escape without leaving the capital ?

Join us to discover around a hundred unique floral arrangements and watch an exceptional demonstration by Japanese masters.

To mark its 30th anniversary, the Paris-based association Manako Jafas Paris invites you to discover traditional Japanese floral art through this vibrant exhibition, bold in form and color.

A variety of arrangements will be on display, a rare and unique opportunity to discover ikebana, from its origins in the 15th century through its centuries-long evolution. A wellspring of inspiration, new currents in floral art have drawn energy and creativity from this traditional craft to become their own, more modern styles, where flowers and plant life, sublimated, continue to remain an architectural structure in their own right.

The weekend's highlight: don’t miss the exclusive floral demonstrations on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 2:30 p.m., led by Mr. Kurata Katsuhito and Mrs. Rumiko Manako, president of the Manako Jafas Paris association.

A rare opportunity to observe the technique, the philosophy, and the serenity that guide the movements of these great masters. 

Whether you're into botany, Japanese culture, art, or simply curious, immerse yourself in this unique plant celebration right in the heart of the 7th arrondissement—a genuine invitation to unwind.
