Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement which emphasizes shape, line and form as well as a minimalist style. While there are numerous schools of Ikebana, the three main schools are: Ikenobō, Ohara and Sōgetsu. Seika style (also known as Shōka style), cultivated by the Ikenobō school, is a in three-branched asymmetrical style that is a simplification of the ancient stylized temple floral art of Rikka. The arrangements are triangular and represent the whole universe (heaven, man and earth)--Wikipedia. Note: Same arrangement as the image with photo file name: ikebana_seika_010.
