Felix Rivera Review


To become one with the universal aspects of ikebana, artists need to understand the relationships among mind, body, and nature. In their thoughtful melding of flower-arrangement techniques, meditation exercises, and the aesthetic and philosophical principles unique to Japanese art, the authors have written eloquently about why and how ikebana, or kado, the Way of the Flower, can be a worthwhile journey of discovery.
