Product Description
Synopsis
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The word translated actually means 'to arrange flowers'. In his new book, Dr Leonard Lim explains that this ancient art is "about our relationship with nature, it is a journey in our hearts as we create beautiful ikebana." The book contains nearly 300 four-colour photos of various styles of ikebana and provides step-by-step instructions for everyday and special occasion arrangements. In the early chapters Lim provides all the basic instructions for getting started such as cutting and bending stems, enhancing water uptake so that your arrangements last longer, and how to choose the best containers. In the middle chapters, Lim moves on to the more sophisticated aspects of colour, shape and quality. The third section offers the beginner instructions to create basic ikebana freestyle in three movements. Dr Limm explores new ways to look at materials in arrangements such as using household items and office stationery as vases. He also demonstrates how to celebrate special moments with ikebana.Leonard Lim provides simple instructions for anyone who wants to learn the art of ikebana - whether for personal enjoyment at home, or for a party of hundreds.
