The Ikebana Master - The past, present, and future of the ancient art of flower arranging by Master Kenji Kojima

The Ikebana Master is the memoir of famous ikebana and bonsai master, Kenji Kojima.

Master Kenji is a visionary, a rebel, and one of the most decorated floral artists in modern times. This book traces the captivating life of a man who reshaped the very soul of modern ikebana, bonsai, and suiseki.

Master Kenji's journey is marked by spiritual awakenings, poetic journeys, deep meditations, and multiple assassination attempts. 

This expanded fourth edition includes never-before seen pieces from his private collection. Keep in mind, though - this is not a book about how to create ikebana. It is a book about how to think about ikebana from the Master himself.
