This is my very first Amazon review and I am so happy to write here for my best flower friend Author Naoko.
She and I took the same floral classes many years together under same teacher. That is how I met her so I have known her personally. Truly I congratulate her first book published!
I respect her Ikebana works and love her personality very much.
This book gives a lot of pictures and detailed instructions. For beginners, it is easy to follow. Really lots of pictures. I was very amazed. You can tell how meticulous she cares about flowers and you, readers. I was actually so moved.
When I see her, she is a great listener. She always encourages me and never push her value as you can tell in the book. Very considerate person.
She creates her Ikebana, styling, writing and shooting by herself…how much talented she is.
As I am also an Ikebana instructor, I have so much respect her ikebana works. Her natural, minimal style Ikebana with beautiful space of her own… just seeing her creations in the book itself will give you fresh energy and make you want to create your own Ikebana. I am so grateful this book will encourage many people to enjoy minimal flower arranging. Yes, mastering Ikebana takes years of practice, but this book definitely is a great start for you and you will find how creative, potential you could be ever.

A Beautiful Book That Will Inspire You
This is a very instructive and well thought out book on Ikebana. I shared it with my mother and she loved it so much that I ordered one for her too. I've looked at other books on this subject which were very disappointing because they only showed beautiful pictures without teaching you how to achieve similar results. But I can honestly say that this is not the case with "Inspired Ikebana". It will not only show you how but it will do just what the title says, Inspire.
