A modern approach to traditional Japanese floral design.
Award-winning flower designer Shinichi Nagatsuka explains how anyone can
create beautiful arrangements using his signature N Style method. Easy
to follow, it is based on accent lines rather than the complex system of
rules used for traditional Ikebana.
Accent lines are the natural shapes of the flowers themselves--which
means vertical arrangements require a different eye than horizontal or
round ones, for example. By understanding how the shapes of flowers and
plants affect your design, you'll learn to choose just the right ones to
achieve your desired look and feel.
With over 280 color photos and 42 projects, Modern Japanese Ikebana
unlocks the mysteries of the art of Ikebana. By following the N Style
method, you can bring a natural flow to your arrangements, achieving
balance and an overall harmony of design.
