Japanese Ikebana for Every Season

The true meaning of Ikebanaâ€”the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangementâ€”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 occasionsâ€”Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, birthday, anniversaryâ€”or any event that calls for a flower bouquet.

The key to good Ikebana arrangements is to understand a few very simple principlesâ€”like the idea of mitate, seeing old things with new eyesâ€”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 aroundâ€”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 budgetâ€”the arrangements in this book will lend a touch of Japanese elegance to your home.
