Often misunderstood as a static artform, its rules frozen by generations of masters, Japanese flower arranging (ikebana) is actually the expression of a dynamic relationship between man and nature, wWh every arrangement holding within it infinite possibilities of form and statement.

Kawase unites these sensibilities in an extraordinary display of floral poetry, in which his strong spiritual philosophy finds eloquent expression.
While based on a knowledge of traditional techniques, Kawase's art is liberated by a responsiveness to the arranger's personal interpretation of his or her relationship with flowers. His approach—deceptive in its simplicity—appears effortless, for it is based not on technical wizardry but on the subjective responses of the artist to the natural environment.
This stunning volume is in addition a practical guide for both beginners and advanced students of flower arranging, offering insights into the release of intuitive powers that can create unexpected harmonies of natural color and form through the medium of flowers. Vissza
