Misho School: Kakubana Style (Ikebana Card Book) by Koho Hihara is a visual and instructional guide that delves into the classical Kakubana style of ikebana, as taught by the Misho School. Published in 1973 by Shufunotomo Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, this first edition comprises 20 full-page, full-color flower arrangements, with text presented in both English and Japanese. The Kakubana style, established by the Misho School's founder, Ippo Mishosai, is rooted in Eastern philosophies such as Yin-Yang and the five elements. It emphasizes a geometric structure where arrangements symbolize the harmony between heaven (Ten), human (Jin), and earth (Chi). This triadic concept is fundamental to Kakubana, reflecting a profound appreciation of the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. This card book serves as both an educational resource and an inspiration for practitioners and enthusiasts of ikebana, offering insights into the traditional techniques and philosophical underpinnings of the Kakubana style.
