Product detailed description

Modern Ikebana: a New Wave in Floral Design - Victoria Gaiger & Tom Loxley

Since its inception in the 6th century, ikebana has been as much a philosophy as it is an art, rooted in Zen Buddhism and respect for nature. Over hundreds of years, a complex set of unwritten rules has evolved, mastering which takes a lifetime. In recent years, however, the characteristic look of ikebana has found a new audience and opened the eyes of a whole generation of artists to a new way of working with flowers. This book presents a selection from the new wave of floral artists, from Tokyo to New York. Authors Victoria Gaiger and Tom Loxley spoke with the most interesting young florists of today about their art and inspiration. The book includes an introduction to the history and development of Japanese floral art and an illustrated glossary of flowers and plants.

Authors

Victoria Gaiger and Tom Loxley are British designers and founders of the brand Forest + Found, which connects traditional craftsmanship, natural materials, and a slow lifestyle. In their work, they focus on handmade household items, working with wood, green wood carving, and open-fire cooking. In addition, they are jointly behind the British magazine Rakes Progress, which is devoted to gardens, plants, flowers, and living in harmony with nature. The magazine, based in the United Kingdom, is conceived as a "photographic and textual journal" and offers inspiration from gardening through crafts to stories linked with country life and nature.

Almost Valentine

Someone carries a flower, another forgets. A bit of anticipation that may not be fulfilled, and a bit of relief that nothing significant actually happened.

Personal Landscape

Nature carries energy, diversity, and natural beauty. It helps us slow down, forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and once again..
