THE FLOWER ART OF JAPAN 



filled with flowers. Each day the wilted 

 ones are replaced by fresh arrangements. 

 Here, also, the flower tools, stands, vases, 

 and everything to be used in arranging 

 the flowers are kept. 



The flower stands are as beautiful and 

 varied in form as the vases; their lines all 

 so well thought out that they enhance the 

 beauty of whatever they hold. One of the 

 illustrations shows how they vary in height, 

 so that a long trailing spray may be raised 

 into a natural position. 



Everything in connection with this 

 Flower Art emphasizes the important place 

 flowers occupy in the every-day life of the 

 Japanese.
