Japanese Ikebana for Every Season - Yuji Ueno, Rie Imai

Product Details

The true meaning of Ikebana - the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement - is to take a few beautiful flowers and plants and tastefully present them in very simple containers to enhance home decor. The 53 elegant arrangements featured in Japanese Ikebana for Every Season are perfect for special occasions - Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, birthday, anniversary or any event that calls for a flower bouquet. 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 and to learn a few easy techniques to stabilize and support plants inside a vase or container. Using common flowers and plants from the garden, a nearby field or forest, or the local florist, anyone can easily create these lovely Ikebana in just a few minutes. Authors Rie Imai and Yuji Ueno explain how to select flowers and containers from things that are already around and then 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.
