In Korea, traditional flower arranging--Cocoji--is reflective of
the Korean people's nature and artistic aesthetic. It's an
important element of the country's unique culture. Flower arranging
was once a common hobby of Korean women; however, during the 50
years of invasion, occupation and war that occurred in that country
in the first half of the 20th century, Cocoji was buried and almost
forgotten. Today, regrettably, it is often practiced only by
professional groups. Through the 32 intricate yet sometimes
seemingly simple floral designs that are gracefully presented on
these pages of this quietly beautiful book, you will learn the art
of traditional Korean flower arranging, which has been kept alive
by authors Deokwon Lee and Heungkyoung Oh--and their master mentor,
the late Im Wha Kong. You also will discover the roots and history
of this more-than-2,000-year-old art form, which commonly
incorporates the use of three branches to represent the Chun-Ji-In
philosophy that the heavens, the Earth and the people are all
governed by a great singular power. Cocoji is uniquely different
from Japanese Ikebana and other Asian flower-arranging disciplines,
and practicing its tenets will broaden your floral design
perspectives and influence the evolution of your own distinctive
style. This is more than just a pretty-picture book; it is a
surprisingly affordable study guide to the art of Cocoji.
