Ikebana

Japanese Flower Arrangement Step-by-Step
by Reiko Takenaka

Award-winning ikebana artist Reiko Takenaka describes the basic principles of Japanese flower arranging but avoids strict rules in a book that invites you to create beautiful arrangements that reflect your own home and your own taste. Featuring more than 90 designs, Ikebana suggests ways to create different moods with different flowers, grasses, and plants, and presents arrangements for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and more.

With many tips on choosing containers (common household articles often work well!) and conditioning and cutting plant material, Ikebana is as instructive as it is inspiring. Beginners will find the step-by-step photographs easy to follow, and experienced ikebana practitioners will delight in Takenaka’s unique approach to her art.
