Ikebana – Conflicts in Space

without comments

Yukiko has created many more ikebana designs than there is space to show them on her website.  This week we had to take down one strikingly beautiful ikebana to make space for the newest design.  Here they are:

We Took Down This Picture…

To have a place for every unique ikebana design by Yukiko, we are expanding our Ikebana Gallery to include online resources from Flickr

As we develop this approach we will keep you informed through this blog.
