PICTURE REFLECTION




















A gnarled old vine from an abandoned vineyard in the Provence is starkly juxtaposed with delicate camellia blossoms.




















In this work, rusted iron tractor parts make an excellent support for a fragile cluster of narcissus and calla leaves.




















The bark of eucalyptus provides unusual shapes, colors and textures to this creation

















One is silent when doing Ikebana, even the teacher will speak little. Following Japanese tradition, the apprentice learns by watching and then doing rather than by listening. Together with some flowers, leaves, a vase, and our inner being, we achieve silence and harmony between Nature and ourselves. This is the true philosophy of Ikebana.















Probably this work was made during the autumn season,because they used yellow and colours.Preference of flowers changes according to season .For example,in winter pine branches and some fresh flowers are used.In summer variable fresh flowers are preferred.






















Nowadays in Japan, there are many schools, each one having its own distinctive style and rules of composition. But in the most traditional school of Ikebana, the three main stems are said to represent Heaven, Humanity and the Earth. In Ikebana. The elements, placed asymmetrically, are given emphasis by the spaces.

















The choice of vase can vary.If you like ,you can buy exported Japan vases or you can work with ordinary local vases.They can be in shape of square.round or unusual. As you see in this picture.
