Ikebana by Makoto Azuma

Makoto Azuma is a wonderful artist that works with plants in many different ways. Recently he posted on his blog photos from his most recent Ikebana work and I fell in love.

Ikebana is the Japanese art of arranging flowers. It is minimalistic and in my opinion respects the beauty of the flowers in the arrangement far more than any of the things we see during valentines day or paraded into hospitals.
