Ikebana Club
CharacterThe Ikebana Club is a leisure society within Soul Society devoted to the traditional Japanese craft of flower arranging. Chaired by Retsu Unohana and based at the 4th Division, it draws a small circle of Shinigami to its gatherings.
Overview
Within Soul Society this club exists so its members can pursue ikebana, the classical Japanese art of arranging flowers. It operates out of the 4th Division Barracks and gathers a modest membership around the practice rather than any military purpose.
Role
Retsu Unohana presides over the club as its chairman. The society runs on a budget of 150,000 kan, and its meetings are known as much for their refreshments as their arrangements, since the snacks on offer sometimes include edible flowers the members craft as part of their work.
