The Flowers Of Japan And The Art Of Floral Arrangement is a comprehensive guide to the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement, known as Ikebana. Written by Josiah Conder, an English architect and designer who lived in Japan during the late 19th century, the book explores the history and philosophy behind Ikebana, as well as the techniques and materials used in creating these beautiful floral arrangements. The book is divided into two parts: the first part provides an overview of the history and principles of Ikebana, including the different schools of thought and the symbolism of various flowers. The second part of the book is a practical guide to creating Ikebana arrangements, with detailed instructions and illustrations for different styles and techniques. Throughout the book, Conder emphasizes the importance of simplicity, harmony, and balance in Ikebana, as well as the need for a deep understanding of the natural world and the materials used in the arrangements. He also provides insights into the cultural and aesthetic context of Ikebana, and how it reflects the broader Japanese approach to art and design. Overall, The Flowers Of Japan And The Art Of Floral Arrangement is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of Ikebana, as well as for those interested in Japanese culture, art, and design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
