Rumiko Manako is a refreshing outsider in the world of floral
design. Her floral art is as graceful as dance movements, as
technical and well thought-out as Ikenobo (Ikebana) but at the same
time it remains as accessible as Western flower arranging. This
very personal crossover style not only bridges the gap between
traditional flower arranging and ikebana, but the Rumiko Style
seems to be catching on rapidly. Proof of this is the growing
number of national and international followers and the always busy
workshops and demonstrations. Rumiko Manako builds and sculpts with
flowers and leaves, but despite the large dimensions, the
three-dimensionality and the spectacular displays, her designs are
elegant, flawless and poetic without a fault. This book shows
Rumiko's designs in interaction with some special Parisian
landmarks (including Castel Beranger, the Eiffel Tower, La Geode
and Rodin), supplemented with works made in the studio and inspired
by her many travels and encounters.
