”Morimono with red cabbage”

I am a morimono enthusiast and I started in April 2016 creating original morimonos with fruits and vegetables always accompanied by plant material. Although I am aware of the fact that morimono originated with addition of sand and dolls, my approach is to have a simple flow between flower, plant and fruit and vegetables as if they were organically linked. I omitted from my morimonos the decoration with dolls and sand. I created so far about 60 original morimono arrangements 20 of which I painted in oil pastels on paper.
