Japanese Flower Arrangement: Illustrated Guide to Mastery by Wafu Teshigahara distills the quiet discipline of ikebana into a vintage 1972 hardcover filled with step-by-step photos and line drawings. Each chapter walks readers through classical balances, seasonal materials, and the philosophy behind Japanese floral design, making it a trusted reference for both new students and seasoned hobbyists.
The crisp, unmarked pages feel fresh despite the book’s age, preserved by a tight binding and a bright dust jacket that shows only gentle shelf wear. Minor corner bends and light scuffing on the jacket add authentic character without hindering display value. From a smoke-free home, this copy is ready for immediate enjoyment or gift-giving.
Collectors of Asian art, craft, and culture prize Teshigahara’s visual lessons for their clarity and respect for tradition. Whether you’re staging a tokonoma arrangement or seeking mindful inspiration, this English-language guide delivers practical techniques alongside quiet aesthetic insight.
