JAPANESE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT 



spreading. Bring as much variety into the 

 bend of your branches as possible. Shallow 

 vases, with a wide expanse of water, are most 

 used at this season. 



Autumn Arrangement 



In autumn use a few golden or yellow leaves 

 in your arrangement, to suggest the harvest 

 time. 



Make your arrangements less full, using 

 fewer sprays and branches. 



The Midzu-giwa becomes longer, about 

 four inches; for at this time the leaves are 

 beginning to fall from the trees and one sees 

 more of the trunk and branches. 



The Japanese tell us to make at this sea- 

 son an arrangement expressing serenity and 

 peace. By this they mean that we should 

 make a simpler arrangement than in spring 

 or summer and give more attention to 

 beauty of line than foliage or flowers. 



Winter Arrangement 



In winter arrange flowers with few curves. 

 Make your sprays or branches more flat.
