Ikebana

Asian Arts and Crafts for Creative Kids
by Shozo Sato

Ikebana, the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging, is presented in an easy and fun way for kids in this beautifully illustrated guide. Step-by-step photographs take kids through the stages of creating 10 different ikebana projects, from a formal kenzan moribana arrangement of iris and cotoneaster to a suiban or water platter arrangement of rosemary, lilies, and red gerberas. There are projects with tall and short containers, dishes, and baskets used as vases. All the techniques are presented in a kid-friendly style that encourages creativity and builds on a child’s love of flowers.
