Shussho, or the essential inner character of each plant variety, is considered most important when arranging shoka style. This inner character of the plant governs its basic growth. As the plant puts out leaves and flowers, natural environmental factors such as light and weather uniquely affect the growth of individual plants. Shoka style reflects both the inner character of the plant variety and the bright energy of life filling each individual plant as it grows.

Shoka today is divided into two main styles, contemporary shoka shimputai, and traditional shoka shofutai.
