Ikebana by Baiko |
I have always been fond of the art of arranging flowers. My mother opened my appreciation for things Japanese as she would gush about how they pay attention to detail, be so thoughtful and reverent in every arrangement. I so like their minimalist approach.
Gazing at Ikebana arrangements calms me. It had to be a calm, serene, disciplined person to harness the beauty of part plants. Each flower, stem, twig is well thought of. During the creation of such pieces, silence is a must. Very soulful. Very spiritual. Simply beautiful.
