SynopsisIkebana , or "making flowers alive" in Japanese, is the ancient art of formal flower arrangement. Practiced since the seventh century, the true goal of Ikebana is to take a few beautiful flowers and plants and tastefully present them in very simple containers to enhance home decor. The 53 elegant designs 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 proper Ikebana arrangements is to understand a few straightforward 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 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., In this gorgeously illustrated book, Japanese ikebana expert Yuji Ueno shares his novel ideas on how to create simple yet elegant arrangements from readily available flowers, branches, vines, grasses and twigs. He artfully combines these in simple vases and quirky recycled containers to suit the occasion and mood. All the containers and plant materials are easily obtained, and readers are encouraged to use whatever is around them rather than going out to buy exotic or expensive items.
