A modern approach to traditional Japanese floral design. Award-winning flower designer Shinichi Nagatsuka explains how anyone can create beautiful arrangements using his signature N Style method. Easy to follow, it is based on accent lines rather than a complex system of rules like ikebana usually is.
Accent lines are born from the flowers themselves--vertical arrangements require a different eye than horizontal or round ones, for example. By understanding how various types of flowers can affect your design, you'll learn to choose just the right ones to achieve your desired look and feel.
