Review
"The extraordinarily talented floral design artist, Keiko Kubo, shares her innovative ideas in [Keiko's Ikebana]. The book's content is not only inspirational but also very practical with step-by-step instructions on each design for readers."--"The National Gardener" "Ikebana enthusiasts-the craft has a devoted following in North America-will find many good ideas here."--"Library Journal" "Kubo's respectful but eclectic take on tradition is refreshing. Novice practitioners will likely welcome her less-is-more philosophy, in which a minimum of materials are transformed into satisfying art forms."--"Publishers Weekly" "Offers an introduction to this international art that is both practical and contemporary."--"Garden Design"
