Ikebana -the Japanese art of flower arranging- is a deep and ever-widening passion. When a sculptural piece can be combined with living material, it is a celestial marriage: a thing of beauty that can only exist within the dual context to which both elements contribute their strength.
The governing principles of Japanese floral design are Line, Mass and Color. The container must harmonize completely with the material. Ikebana is quintessentially a 'minus' art.
'...perfection is finally achieved not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away'
-Antoine de Saint Exupery
