The purpose of this primer is to acquaint the reader with elementary knowledge in a special school of flower arranging - the Japanese school - selected becasue it is the oldest and its teachings are perhaps the simplest, yet most effective.

'The text is intended for amateurs, but professional arrangers might find it useful as a refresher. The author is indebted to Mr. Houn Ohara and his volume, "Japanese Flower Arrangement," for much of the material included here.'
