Circa 1840-50, approx. 50 handwritten pages with ink drawings. Ikebana (, "living flowers") is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The tradition of Ikebana dates to the 7th century when floral offerings were made at altars. Later, floral offerings were also placed in private homes in a special alcove (tokonoma) meant to display the offering, Ikebana reached its first zenith in the 16th century under the influence of Buddhist tea-masters and has grown over the centuries, with over 1,000 different schools in Japan and abroad. Ikebana is one of three classical Japanese arts of refinement along with - kodo, incense appreciation, and chado, tea and the tea ceremony. The book exhibits channels from a long past infestation, however it is quite nice, and reads well.
