    A visual bounty, has nature to offer
    countless and contrasting sentiments does it educe;
    Every ikebana rendering is a slice of
    such a visual and a particular associated muse.

    Just remembered the novel about ikebana - it wasTHE FLOWER MASTER by Sujata Massey. I really enjoyed it; if you haven't read it, perhaps you'll like it too.

    Yes I have read Sujata's work and enjoyed it very much. Great idea - I've linked to it.

    Not surprised you're familiar with it already! I must read again, and her other books too.

    A lovely lens! Now I'm trying to remember the name and author of a novel I read some years ago, about a woman living in Japan who was studying Ikebana... that's going to drive me crazy until I think of it now...

    You did a great job with this lens. I am such a fan of Ikebana, I love the simplicity and the discipline behind each arrangement. They're like sculpture and every single flower, twig and leaf are just placed precisely that when you look at them everything is in harmony, they like compliment each element you just cant help but admire the entire arrangement. I enjoyed reading your lens. Wonderful Job friend!

    Ikebana is a beautiful form of flower arranging. I like the history behind it and the materials used, like stones or pebbles and seeds or grasses and water. Such a natural look and the simple designs are so pleasing to the eye.
  • VictoriousM Feb 1, 2010 @ 7:00 am | delete
    What an amazing lens! This reminds of a charming Japanese woman I met years ago in one of our company gatherings. Before she left, she gave me some precious presents - magazines with beautiful pictures of Ikebana. I just loved to look at them, they're truly amazing. Oh, and there were some instructions in the magazines how to do it. Unfortunately, it was written in Japanese!!

    These arrangements look so simple and beautiful, but when you try your hand at it, it is much more difficult than you expect. It is so hard to get them just right.

    I love this lens! OMG..those flowers are so beautiful. I grow Lucky Bamboo and there is something very special about growing plants in just water-I have one set growing in my kitchen and the other in my living room and they give me a sense of peace.

    You did a great job on this lens!!
