The Japanese Way of the Flower: Ikebana as Moving Meditation
Summary This second volume of "moving meditations" shows how simple Japanese flower arranging (ikebana) techniques can be used to refresh the body and restore the spirit. Emphasizing that ikebana is first and foremost a "Way"—a spiritual and meditative art—the book offers solid grounding in Japanese aesthetics and philosophy, with references to Zen, tea ceremony, and other traditional Japanese arts. Line drawings and color photographs show step-by-step arrangements especially for beginners and casual practitioners.
Author Biography: H. E. Davey is the founder and director of the Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts and the author of Brush Meditation: A Japanese Way to Mind & Body Harmony.; Ann Kameoka is a certified instructor in Ikenobo-style ikebana. Both she and co-author H. E. Davey live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Publisher's Notes The Japanese art of flower arrangement -- ikebana -- has been enthusiastically embraced in the West as a method of creating beauty and expressing the intimate relationship between human beings and nature. Another name for ikebana is kado, the "Way of the Flower." In introducing kado, this book emphasizes the process of composition as a form of active meditation. By learning to become one with the flower -- the leaf, the blade, the stem -- you attain calmness, concentration, and willpower and can carry these positive qualities into your everyday life.
After a brief cultural overview, The Japanese Way of the Flower examines practical methods for looking at nature and experimenting with meditative states prior to composition. Simple exercises that anyone can do at home are supplemented by explanations of basic Japanese aesthetic concepts and how they relate to meditation and the art of flower arranging. The last chapter presents basic flower compositions for readers to practice on their own, with color photographs, easy diagrams, and step-by-step instructions. At the back of the book is information on how to find formal instruction, as well as sources for flower arrangement supplies.
Kado is a lifelong journey, like calligraphy, aikido, tea, and other traditional Japanese arts. It teaches respect for nature, and how to follow the flow of ki -- the connective tissue of the universe -- and produce works of soothing beauty, color, and form. In this book, students of Japanese art and culture will find penetrating discussions of aesthetics and practice, while Western flower arrangers will find new techniques and fresh insights into materials and composition.
