I love the Asian minimalist ethos, and I love flowers, so this book of flower arrangements, inspired by Ikebana, the Japanese flower arranging method, is a good fit for me. The arrangements featured are a combination of Eastern and Western style, easy to make, and beautiful to behold. A section of the book gives specific instructions for making your own arrangements, including basic tools and methods. Just looking at the gorgeous photos of these unique arrangements in Ikebana Style will kick-start your creative floral muse. Flower arranging is an art; flowers in the home or as a gift are a simple and beautiful way to bring "nature's smile" into your world.
