Modern floral design

Rumiko style

Rumiko Manako is a refreshing outsider in the world of floral design. Her floral art is as graceful as dance movements, as technical and well thought-out as Ikenobo (ikebana) but at the same time it remains as accessible as Western flower arranging. Her very personal crossover style not only bridges the gap between traditional flower arranging and ikebana, but the Rumiko Style is catching on rapidly, with a growing number of fans and followers all around the globe.

This book shows Rumiko's designs in interaction with some Parisian landmarks, supplemented with works made in the studio and inspired by her many travels and cherished encounters.
