                 Ikibana is the
                traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, which expresses
                the philosophy of “ less is more” by using few items in the
                arrangement and following design concepts of the completed
                arrangement having its outline follow a basic geometric shape;
                most often a triangle.  To
                accomplish that end, the elements of the arrangement are
                typically secured to a “pin frog” which has been attached to
                the bottom of a shallow container. 
                Both Ikibanas offered are slab constructed and serve
                their purpose functionally and artistically. The square-dish
                ikebana comes with a 1” pin frog and the long-curved ikebana
                comes with a 2” pin frog secured in place. 
                Only a small amount of water is required to maintain
                freshness of the floral elements. |
