It is a visual art that uses plant materials that come in a wide variety of forms. What sets ikebana apart from other floral arrangements is the asymmetry in the design. Simple Ikebana arrangements are composed of three principle lines, with a few smaller, weaker stems added to fill out the design. Principle lines can be branches or leaves, not just flowers. Japanese flower arranging is designed to be viewed from the front only. The water is part of the arrangement, and the mouth of the container is never completely covered. Does this Spark an idea?
