Ikebana or Ka-do (the way of flowers) is a traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. Unlike Western floral art, ikebana does not aim to emphasize only the beauty of the flowers and the harmony of colors. This art wants to enhance the vase, the stems, the leaves, the branches as much as the flower itself.

Very good estate condition.
