I base my ikebana practice in the post-Meiji Kozan school whose chief philosophy was "to capture natural plant forms and silhouettes and arrange them comfortably and freely." This is my first "Autumn" arrangement: I tried to capture the feeling of the end of summer with the suggestion of green acorns juxtaposed next to a blossoming cane with such lovely, emerald green leaves. I also hint at autumn with the dried onion flower sticking up from the base of the arrangement. My little kokeshi had to come out to inspect the flowers.
