Nara Vase
You don’t need a lot of flowers to make a beautiful display. A few flowers at different heights and a small branch or decorative grass will do it. This low vase includes a flower frog to keep stems secure within the water well. And for added interest, it features a single flower, emphasizing the beauty of simplicity.
Height: 1-1/4” (not including the flower)
Width: 5-1/2” square
Originating in Japan in the 700s, ikebana is the art of flower arranging that emphasizes form and balance. It was a type of meditation for Buddhist priests including those at the temple in Nara; floral arrangements expressed the harmony between earth and spirit. Later, the Samurai class created floral arrangements as short-lived structures which reflected their mortality. They believed the communing with nature purified their hearts and minds.
