Usage notes[edit]
This term became more common during the Edo period as a synonym for ikebana, but with an emphasis on the elements of mental discipline.[1][2][3]
The 華道 spelling may be more common for the kadō reading, to more clearly distinguish from the hanamichi reading below.

| 花 | 道 |
| はな Grade: 1 |
みち Grade: 2 |

Compound of 花 (hana, “flower”) + 道 (michi, “road, way”).[1][2][4]
Likely derives from the early use of a hanamichi as a kind of walkway from the stage down into the audience, giving performers access to the audience in order to receive flowers.[1][2]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- (theater) an extension of a stage that stretches into the audience, usually only in kabuki and most often along the left side of the theater, used mainly to enter and exit the stage
