{"product_id":"japanese-flower-culture-an-kaeko-chiba-9781032164694","title":"Japanese Flower Culture - An Introduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive introduction to \u003ci\u003eikebana \u003c\/i\u003eand other forms of Japanese flower culture. Unlike other books on the subject which focus on practice, the book provides both an academic discussion of the subject and an introduction to practice. It examines \u003ci\u003eikebana\u003c\/i\u003e and flower culture from anthropological and sociological perspectives, analyses Japanese aesthetics, customs and rituals related to flower arrangements, and outlines \u003ci\u003eikebana\u003c\/i\u003e history and the Grand Master Iemoto system. It considers how the traditional arts are taught in Japan, and links traditional arts to current issues in today's society, such as gender and class. This book also covers how to prepare \u003ci\u003eikebana\u003c\/i\u003e utensils, preserve flowers and branches, and how to appreciate arrangements, placing an emphasis on acknowledging our five senses throughout each stage of the process. The book will be of interest to a wide range of people interested in Japanese flower culture - university professors and students, tourists and people interested in traditional Japanese arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaeko Chiba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032164697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032164694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Kaeko Chiba","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123362427135,"sku":"9781032164694","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5d80b55-ccbd-4b17-a71f-73fbad487fe5.jpg?v=1687430456","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japanese-flower-culture-an-kaeko-chiba-9781032164694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
