Ikebana Ever Lastings; dried-flower arrangements, by Mami Kawasaki (Hardback, 1969)

Ikebana Ever Lastings explores the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging through the lens of dried-flower design, revealing how negative space and deliberate composition create profound beauty. Unlike Western arrangements where abundance reigns, Ikebana treats every element as a carefully considered sculptural statement. This hardback demonstrates how Ikebana principles align seamlessly with modern interior design, echoing minimalist aesthetics and emphasising form, space, colour, and material harmony. Learn the philosophy behind thoughtful restraint and discover how to create arrangements that complement contemporary spaces. This practical guide covers creation techniques, preservation methods, and versatile applications for different settings and occasions.
