The true meaning of Ikebana--the traditional Japanese art of flower
arrangement--is the ability to take a few beautiful flowers and
plans and tastefully present them in very simple containers to
decorate your home. Whether for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, or a
special birthday or anniversary--"Japanese Ikebana for Every
Season" simplifies and demystifies this ancient art by presenting
53 elegantly simple arrangements that anyone can create at anytime
at home.
The key to good Ikebana arrangements is to understand a few very
simple principles--like the idea of "mitate"--seeing old things
with new eyes, as well as learning a few very easy techniques of
flower stabilization and how to support plants and flowers inside a
vase or container. Using simple, common flowers and plants from
your garden, from a nearby field or forest, or from your local
florist--you can easily create these lovely Ikebana in just a few
minutes if you know how.
Authors Rie Imai and Yuji Ueno explain how to select the flowers
and the containers by simply using things that are already around
you--and then they show you how to turn them into something
special. The basic instructions in the book cover a wide range of
styles that encourage readers to use their own creativity rather
than copying traditional and highly technical Ikebana design
concepts.
No matter what time of year it is and regardless of your taste or
budget--the arrangements in this book will lend a touch of Japanese
elegance to your home
