President to prohibit one form of art from Japan (7)

I believe the answer is:

ikebana

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'art from japan' is the definition.
(Japanese flower arrangement)

'president to prohibit one' is the wordplay.
'president' becomes 'ike' (nickname of Dwight Eisenhower).
'to prohibit' becomes 'ban' (banning is a kind of prohibiting).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'ike'+'ban'+'a'='IKEBANA'

'form of' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ikebana that I've seen before include "exhibiting array of bloomers" , "formal display" , "artistic arrangement" , "Japanese occupation" , "Jap. flower arranging" .)
