Ikebana "Poesy in life through flowers" by Norika Ohno 1980 Book & Slipcover

"Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of arranging flowers. The practice, which roughly translates to “making flowers come alive,” uses carefully selected blossoms, greenery and other flora to convey a specific feeling or emotion to an observer – just as a painting or sculpture might." - from the Konmari website Stunning Japanese flower arranging book. Hardcover in a slipcover. Text is mostly in Japanese with a few English words. The book is in good condition but there is a separation from the spine at the first page (as pictured). There is some bumping to the corners. The slipcover is in good condition with minor wear. Approximately 26cm square (10.25") Check my closet for another Ikebana books.
