CHAPTER FOUR 



AN ARRANGEMENT OF THREE 

 FLOWERS IN HIGH VASE 



FIRST select your flowers or branches. 

 In time one learns to choose flowers 

 which lend themselves to the three 

 principles of Heaven, Man, and Earth so 

 nearly to begin with that very little bending 

 or pruning is necessary. 



When you can yourself choose your own 

 material to work with half the battle is over; 

 but if obliged to use branches or flowers 

 chosen by the uninitiated the task is made 

 difficult. 



Select your flowers or branches with as 

 long stems as possible. 



Every arrangement must have the three 

 principal parts known as Heaven, Man, and 

 Earth. Any additional branches or sprays 

 are merely supports to these main principles.
