FALL 2020 EXAMPLES

Basic and Advanced Hana-isho

There is a big difference between the basic and the advance. In the basic form, there is no secondary stem.

Rising Form

The materials are positioned in the middle of the container.

All materials express a nature upright beauty.

The length of the subject is less than twice the length of the container. Place the subject vertically for its elegant rising posture and lively expression.

The length of the object is one-third of the subject length. Place the object stem end near the base of the subject and slant it down at an angle of 45 degrees from perpendicular to make the base appear compact.

Filler materials: there are not set rules as to the number, length and angle.

The Rising Form (designed by Mitsuko)

Subject: Horse Tail

Object: Calla Lily

One-Row Form

The composition is created with three principal stems arrayed in a row, with an interesting sense of rhythmic variations in the height and spacing of elements.

The subject is positioned in the center with the secondary and object positioned to the left and right of it respectively.

One-Row Form

Subject and Secondary : Japanese quince

Object : Sunflower

Filler : Bougainvillea

The Upright Style

This style is one of three Color Scheme Moribana style. The other two are Slanting style and Water-reflecting style.

This is most basic style for Moribana arrangement.

This style‘s main point is to make a scalene triangle among subject, secondary and object.

This arrangement combines the beautiful upright posture with a natural sense of positioning.

In this style, the primary stem “subject” is about as long as the diameter and depth of the container, with secondary stem being around two-third and the object stem about half the length of the primary stem.
