do you ever heard about IKEBANA?...
"Ikebana" is from the Japanese
ikeru (生ける?, "keep alive, arrange flowers, living") and
hana (華?, "flower"). Possible translations include "giving life to flowers" and "arranging flowers"
[1].
More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a
disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together.
Contrary to the idea of floral arrangement as a collection of
particolored or multicolored arrangement of blooms, ikebana often
emphasizes other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and
draws emphasis toward
shape,
line,
form.
The spiritual aspect of ikebana is considered very important to its
practitioners. Silence is a must during practices of ikebana. It is a
time to appreciate things in nature that people often overlook because
of their busy lives. One becomes more patient and tolerant of
differences, not only in nature, but also in general. Ikebana can
inspire one to identify with beauty in all art forms. This is also the
time when one feels closeness to nature which provides relaxation for
the mind, body, and soul.
my students at SMA St. Angela were practice to arranging flower (IKEBANA) with some aster flowers...
here's some picture from them... very beautiful isn't it??... \(^O^)/
