Teacher/School: Akihiro Kasuya / Ichiyo School of Ikebana (一葉式いけ花)
Material: Rosa multiflora, Cotinus (Smoketree)
Container: Bamboo
Comment: This composition was created by bending (Shin) and breaking (Soe) branches to stabilize the bamboo vase. The arrangement looks flat, but in reality the main branch was pushed forward quite a lot and rested on the inserted supporting branch. Smoketree added balance to the composition. Voila: “One kind of material – branches”
