INTRODUCTION
In Ike-bana the Japanese have given us a scientific arrangement of flowers which excels all others in beauty of line and brings into our homes the refreshment derived from growing plants—a quite different sensation from that given by other arrangements of cut flowers.
By the aid of the following pages, I sincerely hope that a simple but beautiful arrangement of flowers may be easily attained by all who have felt the desire for something less confused in flower arrangement than has yet been reached by Western people.
