Critics Review
“Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, achieves its highest level in what Ueno (Ikebana for Every Season, 2014) calls hanaike (vase).…it’s elegance at its best, guaranteeing a stunning presentation of flower and vase in as natural a setting as possible. […] Plenty of information about light, vessel choice, balance, energy, and gravity, as well as incorporating branches and stems, makes this a true how-to. Recommendations about infusing personality, from cross-form applications (jumoji) that secure the arrangement to the stacking of two vessels, make this especially remarkable. The very definition of elegance in pictures. – Barbara Jacobs, Booklist
“This visually striking art book will appeal to all who appreciate the beauty of ikebana and might inspire readers to try their hand at creating their own hanaike using Ueno’s techniques.” –Library Journal
