INTRODUCTION
Since ancient times, flowers have held a special place in people's hearts, and have been used to provide fitting decoration to various occasions.
In this book, I have tried to stay true to this essence, while emphasizing the simplicity, universality, and flexibility of both western- and Japanese-style flower arrangement.
Typically, flower arrangement focuses on attaining both harmony in color and luxuriance in shape. To these characteristics, I would like to add respect for both the natural beauty of flora such as that found in the wild, and the maximum expression of space by minimal use of materials. In other
words, my goal is to adopt the principles of ikebana that succinctly convey the desired mood.
Diverging from convention, I enjoyed expressing myself by combining easy-to-find containers and other modern materials to maintain shape, keeping the contemporary living space in mind.

Atsuko Ono has contributed to Flower Arrangement: With a Japanese Touch as an author. ATSUKO ONO's interest in floral arrangement started in high school, when she studied tea ceremony, as well as the Sensho Ikenobo school of ikebana. After graduating from Bunka Women's Junior College, where she majored in fashion, she eventually landed in New York, and started her studies of the
western style of flower arrangement. With a focus the more practical aspects of arrangement, she uses her foundation in ikebana to bring a new perspective to modern floral presentation. She also appears actively both printa and television media."

I found the book "Space and color in Japanese flower arrangement", very interesting!

Here is a sample from this book, which I shot from this book:

The image of a beautiful sunset is portrayed here by flaming red maple leaves that seem to be born from the setting sun, and the matching red container amplifies the theme. The deep purplish blue of the iris resembles the evening shadows that begin to fall around this time of day.
