Glass in Ikebana: Inside, Outside, Around
 
Glass leaves no room to hide.
What is hidden in ceramic containers suddenly becomes visible. Fixation, stems, water, and even empty space start to play an active role.
At the same time, not all glass is fully transparent. Some surfaces reveal everything, while others soften or partially conceal what is inside. This opens up a new field of exploration.
 
In this demonstration, we move beyond the idea of simply placing materials in a vase. You will learn to compose inside, outside, and around the container. We will experiment with submerged elements, floating compositions, and glass bulbs, discovering how transparency and opacity influence your design.
