Discover the beauty of the most innocuous flowers, contemplate the grace of a fallen flower, place the flowers in a vase as if they were in their natural environment: in this book the nun Shundô Aoyama shares with us the Way of Flowers (Kado), the subtle art of Japanese flower arrangement (Ikebana). The book consists of sixty texts based on the teachings of the ancient masters of the art of flowers and the art of tea. The author quotes poets and artists, refers to her experience of a monastic life close to nature and sensitive to the beauty and impermanence of things. She thus naturally transmits to us the wisdom of Zen filled with compassion and intuitive understanding. Each text is accompanied by a floral composition by the author. Text and flowers reflect each other. This is not a book of technique or doctrine of floral art but an evocation of what constitutes its heart. This is a contemplative book.
