About KOKA. A Passion for Ikebana: 48 Tales of Flowers and Branches

“Koka Fukushima brings her lifelong love of flowers to readers around the world in these forty-eight tales. Her deep sense of love for plants animates her words and conveys to the reader the luminosity and richness of her ikebana .” — Akane Teshigahara, Iemoto , Sogetsu School of Ikebana, Tokyo “Koka-sensei’s generosity in sharing what she knows is unlimited. Anyone who reads this book will have a new and wonderful feeling for the forty-eight flowers that are the subjects of these tales.” — Norman H. Tolman, The Tolman Collection, Tokyo “Even before opening your elegant book, I knew that I was in for a treat and it certainly lived up to expectations.” – Marion Maule, International lecturer and ardent admirer and promoter of Japanese culture, LondonIn this beautifully illustrated book of tales, ikebana master Koka Fukushima introduces the reader, season by season, to the personalities of the flower materials she has interacted with in her half-century of flower arranging in Japan and around the world. One by one, she delves into their idiosyncrasies, mannerisms and mysteries, and the role many play in Japanese culture and folklore. Readers will experience the forsythia in Abu Dhabi, a carnations in Mexico, myrtle in Italy, marigolds in India, and flowering cherry in Saudi Arabia. In other tales, witch hazel flowers run merrily up and down branches; mistletoe lives in trees; peach blossoms debut on Girls’ Day; bush clover can be willful, baby’s breath deceivingly gentle; plumed cockscomb is proud; withered sunflower does not droop; and heavenly bamboo wards off evil. In ikebana , the practitioner chooses elements of plants–flowers, leaves, branches–and places them in a carefully selected container which complements their form, cutting and bending them to achieve the desired effect. This book offers an insider’s appreciation of the plant world, of the ordinary as well as the extraordinary, of the known and the not so well known, as the artist has experienced them.
