The object is simply to create something of beauty for the delight of others and, in so doing, improve yourself. The artist sees it as a discipline of the inner spirit for the ultimate purification of the mind and heart. No judging of the work is conducted. Dating back to the 15th Century, this art form reflects three fundamental characteristics of Japanese thinking: an innate love of nature, an abiding love of line, and an instinctive love of symbolism. For the Japanese, flowers signify communion with the heart of nature. Through the centuries, ikebana has grown to incorporate 23 leading schools. The first, Ikenobo (15th Century), advocates using the natural bend of branches. This school, together with Sogetsu, Ohara and Misho would be considered the leading schools. The Sogetsu School has emerged as an exemplary contemporary school whose arrangements fit seamlessly in today's modern and traditional d/cor. The goal of your arrangement is to create three levels of flowers -- high, medium and low. The highest point should equal twice the width of your container, plus twice the height. The medium level is approximately 3/4 of the highest poin...

The design of this juniper bonsai tree gets its inspiration from trees that grow in the mountains and high country. It has its beautiful trailing branches extended out from the container that represents a tree grows at a high altitude that is forced to grow outward and downward due to the high wind and weight of snow in the winter. The trunk curves somewhat and the branches of the tree are swept away from the edge of the cliff to reach the sun to survive. This is the most unusual and dramatic style of bonsai that maintains its balance and its features contribute to the effect of mature age and beauty of the tree. Sitting in an expensive, high quality, altered, stoneware, naturally high fired pot - that is built to last - comes with original artist's personal seal (symbol) at the bottom of the container - since every individual pot was hand made, the color and pattern of each bonsai pot may slightly vary.
