Working With Bamboo in Japanese Flower Arranging

Hosted by American River Conservancy (ARC)

Bamboo, as a material, is revered in Japanese flower arranging. The strikingly smooth outer surface can be used as a water container by cutting windows between segments. The stalks can be split in half and the inside can be covered with paint or paper to add a new design to your arrangement. In some cases, structures can be built from bamboo alone. The leaves are another texture and offer contrast to the straight lines of the stalks. Cutting the stalks into slim circles expands the possible design options. We will explore these various methods of including bamboo in Ikebana.
