This book is a pleasure to read and look at even if you don't do flower arranging. The illustrations are beautiful and the writing is clear and direct. I bought multiple copies and gave them to clients for holiday presents, and it was very well received.

Nice book, explains various techniques used in this flower arranging art.
I liked the techniques of creating decorations using more than one vaze side by side and the ways they are connected with flowers.

I bought a beautiful Ikebana vase at the Atlanta Arts Festival last year as a gift for my 81 year old mother. The potter who made the vase recommended this book as a companion gift. My mother loved the book with it's clear instructions and visuals. I wish I could attach the photo of her first Ikebana arrangement made with a branch and berries.

This book is well written and illustrated giving informative instructions on the Japanese art of flower arranging.

I found a few out-of-the-box designs here, but I'm not sure it's worth the price of the book.

I bought to help me and my friends to get inspired with some ideas. It was good. In terms of techniques it does not bring or explores the different techniques in Ikebana.
