Kakubana 格花

Kakubana (格花)is the traditional method of Ikebana, which takes the shape of an asymmetrical triangle based on the principle of harmony between man and nature. The 3 elements are heaven, earth and man. In Mishoryu school of Ikebana, these elements are called Tai, Yo and Tome (fuku).

A kakubana arrangement consists seven branches arranged to form the shape of a triangle with Tai (2 stems) being the tallest rising and facing to the right or left. Yo (3 stems) on the same side with Tai and Tome (2 stems) on the opposite side.

This is my first assignment in Kakubana arrangement.
