IKEBANA is the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
IKEBANA is more than simply putting flowers in a container. It is a
disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing in which
nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of
developing a closeness with nature.
The growing appreciation of Japanese art and
architecture in the West has extended to the Japanese way with flowers.
IKEBANA is an art, in the same sense that painting and sculpture are arts.
In contrast to the decorative form of flower arranging in western countries,
Japanese flower arrangement creates a harmony of linear construction,
rhythm, and color; in themselves, decorative requirements. The Japanese
emphasize the linear aspects of the arrangement. They have developed the art
to include the vase, stems, leaves, and branches, as well as the flowers.
It has a recorded history; it is backed up by articulate theories; and it is
concerned with creativity. In Japan, flower arrangements are
used as decorations on a level with paintings and other art objects.
These beautiful wooden Ikebana
flower arrangers are especially beautiful with single stem flowers, such as
a tiger lily, or with a few stems of carnations.
