From the Introduction: "Unlike the Western flower arrangement which is loved for its color primarily, the Japanese flower arrangement takes a bare branch bearing a dull colored fruit, a dead spray of hydrangea, a common weed, and transforms them into a creation of beauty. This is because the Japanese put more emphasis upon the forms of nature and life than upon colors themselves.
