Styles of Ikenobo Ikebana are:
Rikka - an upright style which traditionally depicts a landscape.
Shoka - uses only one, two, or three kinds of materials.
Shinputai - more modern, presenting a bright feeling through harmonious qualities.
Jiyuka - a freestyle expression of Ikebana, uses plant and artificial materials in abstract ways.
