Brilliant book, full of really good photos and step guides to crating that perfect flower arrangement.

Delivered promptly and as described. A lovely, informative book.

I bought this book for my mum, who is taking Ikebana classes but doesn't speak english. So I was looking for something with a lot of pictures. I searched the Amazon but all the reviews on Ikebana books were not very helpful on that respect. So I decided to write this review. I chose this book because it looked nice and the author has a lot of bibliography on the subject. AND IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE!!! The book is FULL of coloured pictures and step-by-step instructions and even step-by-step pictures of the instructions! It's so "picture-explanative" that you don't have to read a word to get it right. It's very inviting and once you get it in your hands you can't put it down.I would strongly recommend it to anyone-except perhaps to the few iterested on Ikebena history, symbolism etc. This is a D.I.Y. book from the beginning to the end, full of great, simple ideas that anyone can use. Also very important: My mum loved it -and me :-)
