Michele Sensei lead the group through another wonderful lesson in Maze-ike. This arrangement follows the traditional Shoka structure of shin, soe, and tai, using two types of plant materials in the Maze-ike style.

Unlike traditional Nishuike, Maze-ike allows both materials to blend throughout the arrangement, creating the feeling of a natural meadow where grasses and wildflowers grow together.

Sensei beautifully described how weeds, grasses, and wildflowers each have their own strength, grace, and movement, yet coexist in harmony.

We arranged two materials, in the perfect sequence of shin, soe and tai trying to show off the materials in their most perfect and beautiful state. We explored the balance between strength and grace, allowing each material’s natural character to shine while creating a sense of harmony and unity.
