<strong>Ikebana Vases are Important in Ikebana Design</strong><br />
The design of ikebana vases, just like ikebana itself, stresses
simplicity. The vases can inspire many different ikebana creations. When
the artist imagines the flowers they will use in the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">arrangement</span>
as they would appear when framed by the vase, they create a design in
which the shape of the vase is an important element. The color and shape
of the vase used to frame the flowers is as much a part of the design
as the flowers themselves.<br />
