Japanese Flower Arrangement.

JapaneSe Flower Arrangement.
The general ideas Of Japanese floral
arrangements may be summarized in
this way:
Each setting of flowers must repre-
sent earth. air and water. or heaven.
earth and man. In placing blossoms in
a vase the vase and water are earth,
the short stemmed flowers man and the
tall ones heaven. The ramifications Of
this principle-the delicate. subtle mean
ings and properties infinite.
There are flowers which represent
months and flowers which represent
days, and as every japanese house con-
tains flowers they form a calendar for
the initiated.
Every family of standing has artis-
tically correct vases, vase holders and
flowers, and the manner of entertaining
an honored visitor is to ask him to ar
range some flowers. The guest is gov
erned by rigid laws.
He must not make too elaborate an
arrangement for that takes overmuch
time. lie always offers to destroy what
he has done to prove he considers ii
valueless. Only when he is urged by
his host does he leave it. These are ex-
amples of the long list of restrictions
The Japanese knows them as he knows
