One kind of material - Branch only

Material: Dogwood branches
Container: Ceramic suiban

Variation No.1 Upright Style Moribana

Using branches for one kind of material only,we have more room for us to create and arranging. Without kenzan, there is more challenge to arrange it.  The dogwood branches were provided by Doris. The close look of this arrangement will show you details of technique without kenzan. Two cross bars secured the bottom of the branch and interlock the third branch at top. It was clever indeed.(6-4-13)
We back to the basic,  emphasized in trimming the branches and place Shin,Soe and Hikei at the proper position in the container.(6-4-13)
