The Japanese Way of the Flower: Ikebana as Moving Meditation

This volume of "moving meditations" shows how simple Japanese flower arranging (ikebana) techniques can be used to refresh the body and restore the spirit.

Line drawings and color photographs show step-by-step arrangements especially for beginners and casual practitioners.
