Later during the mid and late Edo period, the art, which had until then been enjoyed solely by the upper class or the samurai class, became popular among the common people as Shoka (also known as Seika (a more free style compared to Tachibana)).
その後、江戸中期から後期になるとそれまでの上流階級・または武家階級のものから広く庶民のたしなみへと変化し、生花（しょうか、せいか）を中心に広く愛された。
