abstract
This work is a researched fiction focusing on the Japanese art of flower arranging, Ikebana, and the rapid modernization and westernization of Japan at the beginning of the Meiji Era. Changes and consistencies in both Ikebana and Japanese society and culture are addressed as seen through the perspective of the main character. An underlying focus of this story is the Japanese cultural ethos and how it changed and developed with the introduction of a long absent foreign influence. Within the story the art of Ikebana is explained in detail as seen through both Japanese and foreign perspective. This addresses how flowers are chosen and used and what the deeper meaning of Ikebana arrangements may be. Various schools and places of display for this art are explained and defined. note
