Chrysanthemum Challenge

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums with their countless varieties, colours and shapes are very much appreciated and used in Ikebana. As you may know, it also represents the emperor. The imperial seal of Japan is a yellow chrysanthemum. More details are in this previous post: The Imperial Chrysanthemum.

Although I enjoyed a lot while doing this all-chrysanthemum arrangement, I also find it tough to find the right balance. Creating a mass expression with flowers are usually more challenging than the ones focusing on lines.
