Nageire Style: Additional Examples

The Nageire Style developed from the flowers used for tea ceremony.

While the emphasis is on the natural qualities of the flowers and branches, there are many techniques available to enhance these qualities.

For the Cascading Style, it might be desirable to enhance the arc of a branch or improve the clarity of the composition by removing leaves that interfere with the dominant lines. Such careful editing is up to each individual.
