Ikebana How-to, the Tateru-katachi step-by-step 

Stephen Coler from www.stephencole..., a 1st Degree Master of the Ohara School of Ikebana, shows you how to create a simple ikebana arrangement step-by-step. The Tateru-katachi, one of the basic forms of the Ohara School, uses only a few stems to create a beautiful and dynamic arrangement. Stephen takes you through the process which enables you to create an original arrangement of your own.
Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, is a tradition that has been practiced for over 600 years. The art has evolved from simple floral offerings placed on alters into arrangements that decorate the spaces where people live, work, and play.
