JAPANESE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT 



This style of Japanese flower arrangement 

 is easily adapted to Western table decora- 

 tion. There is no end to their variety. The 

 low, broad proportions of these arrange- 

 ments make them more suitable than the 

 high groups generally used, cutting off those 

 seated on one side of the table from those 

 on the other, which is not conducive to 

 conversation. 



In these flat, open vases even a few grasses 

 will make an attractive arrangement. Use 



perhaps nine grasses for your Heaven, seven 

 for Man, and five or three for Earth. If 

 you are unable to get any sedge or reeds, 



[no]
