| IKEBANA "The spiritual aspect of Ikebana is considered very important to its practitioners. Silence is a must during practices of Ikebana. It is a time to appreciate things in nature that people often overlook because of their busy lives. One becomes more patient and tolerant of differences, not only in nature, but also in general. Ikebana can inspire one to identify with beauty in all art forms. This is also the time when one feels closeness to nature which provides relaxation for the mind, body, and soul. "Ikebana" is from the Japanese ikeru (生ける, "to place, to arrange, life, birth") and hana (花, "flower"). Possible translations include "giving life to flowers" and "arranging flowers".~wikipedia~ I recently purchased my second Ikebana vase at an art show in Cape Coral, Florida. The first was purchased several years ago at a show in Falmouth, Massachusetts. I have always admired the simplicity of this art form but never realized it's spiritual aspects. Ikebana is a beautiful way to arrange flowers and a fun word to say, it just rolls off the tongue! Try it sometime, a joyful experience is sure to be had!  |

Ikebana is a fun word to say! I too love the simplicity of the floral arrangment. Nice shot too!
I always learn something when I visit you, Rosemary! I love the simple but beautiful arrangement of these flowers. The vase reminds me of a little top hat. :)
I learned something new! I didn't realize there was a word for it or special vases. Thank you! These are beautiful!
I have never heard of this Rosemary, and it sounds absolutely wonderful! I love the vase, and the simplicity.
Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at The Creative Exchange.
Have a wonderful day!

Is that your latest purchase? Perfect shape and color. I used to think that the container was half the battle for me. My husband brought me back a black cast iron suna bachi [??] with matching ebony wooden base. It still looks fantastic, after years of use. Wonderful way of making do with just a few flowers, particularly in winter,when they are dear in the shops.
What a wonderful and interesting post! I love the photo and also the information about Ikebana!
I like your picture of the flowers.
