Product Description
The true spirit of Japanese ikebana as revealed by two great masters. Step into a world of quiet beauty through the floral artistry of Japan. Written by the director of a renowned Osaka tea utensils shop and an ikebana master, this richly illustrated book celebrates the harmony between nature, art, and ritual. Each of the twelve chapters corresponds to a month of the year, with reflections on the changing seasons, personal stories of flowers and vases, and poetic insights into the spirit of chabana--the art of tea flowers. Alongside these lyrical essays you'll find practical advice to guide you in the subtle art of selecting, cutting, and placing flowers. Lavishly illustrated with over 187 full-color photographs, this book offers a rich visual journey through the sensual beauty of tea ceremony flower arrangements, including the vessels, tools and painted scrolls used to complete each display. More than a guide, it invites readers see the world more deeply in a new way--one flower at a time.
