Ikenbana

Is this the same as Ikebana? >>sparkit|TALK<< 13:07, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Don't think so. Ikenobo is the oldest form. Perhaps it evolved into Ikebana? Soo 18:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

The article claims that the current grand master is the 45th. In the Urasenke tradition of tea ceremony, which also traces its lineage to the 15th century, the current grandmaster is only the 16th. Why the big difference? Exploding Boy 18:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

There is a thorough explanation about the Ikenobo family name and history, which answers the above question, at this Japanese web page: http://shushen.hp.infoseek.co.jp/keijiban/ikenobou1.htm Tksb (talk) 01:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Romanisation of Japanese Headmaster names

I responded to a request from, Gryffindor, to complete the transliteration of the Headmasters names.

There is only one name that I was unsure of the on reading for 池坊専存. It is most likely Ikenobō Senzon although Ikenobō Senson is possible. Please also note that some names are pronounced the same but have different kanji characters. These names are taken to resemble a previous master's name, but also to subtly distinguish them from a predecessor. Dr.khatmando (talk) 06:37, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
