Nice to meet you. Welcome to my homepage. I'm Eika Furudate.
I teach the Japanese Art of Flower Arrangement. It's called Ikebana in Japanese.
Western style of flower arrangement focuses on asymetrical style of display
whereas Japanese Ikebana focuses on an unbalanced or asymmetrical flow to
the flower display.
In my Ikebana display there is a yin-yang kind of balance where one area
is busy and another is quiet.

Unique and special is it's own way.
Let your creativity express that one of a kind being that you are.
To express yourself you need a foundation to build upon, so if you
study step by step you can gradually increase your ability to achieve
this skill.
In this fourm your age, sex, nationality and occupation are left at
the door.
They are unimportant in tapping into your creative self. So let's
take pleasure in learning Ikebana. |

|
Doing Ikebana is a wonderful technique to let go of
the stressful woes of everyday life while finding the innner peace.
In it's own way, it's a kind of meditation and calming of the mind
and spirit.
Take 90 minutes a week to center yourself in the busy metropolis. |

This is a premisis that is found in Tea ceremony. It
translates to mean: "Trasure every encounter for it will never
recur"
And this philosophy is adapted when handling the flowers. Each one
is special and has a uniquiness that is not found in another.
Man's encounter with each other is fate and so is the destiny between
florist and the flower. |
