Ikebana: the art of flower

Ikebana: noun, Japanese meaning, the fine art of flower arranging.

Ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity, in an elegant dance, are brought together through the art of flower arranging. We are thinking of Ikebana in metaphorical terms -- the hand of the artist in relationship to materials of graphite, paper, ink, clay, wood, and oils--and  how the hand of the artist arranges materials, be that clay, beads or paint.
