made of flowers and leaves
The technique used for this wreath is “Ikebana” also known as flower arrangement. Also, the one used here is a combination of “Shin-you-sen” (traditional style) and “Kado 1.1” (Japanese modern way).

I have been studying Ikebana from Ms.Yuko Watanabe a number of years ago and since then I had a great appreciation for her works.
