Reviews
"San Francisco florists Amanda Luu and Ivanka Matsuba give the traditional Japanese art form a California spin. Their arrangements, featuring easy-to-find blooms like tulips, are designed to be riffed on at home." --Martha Stewart Living "A crash course in the ancient tradition's major philosophies, as viewed through a modern lens. . . [It invites] readers--including forward-thinking brides-to-be--to cultivate their own sense of self-expression." --C: California Style Magazine "More than a list of must-have items, each named arrangement project presents a specific mood and feeling, accompanied by elegant color photographs and, often, step-by-step instructions. Arrangement containers are themselves worthy of a museum installation. . . . A modern take on a centuries-old art that's breathtakingly simple." --Booklist, starred review
