Acknowledgments
First, I would like to express my appreciation to Jennifer Brown at Tuttle Publishing for giving me this special opportunity.
I would also like to extend my warmest thanks to the people who helped me complete this project, especially: photographer Erich Schrempp, of Schrempp Studio, who took the wonderful photos featured here; Anjeli Flowers, 7643 W. Belmont, Elmwood Park, IL, (708) 452-9004; and Edward Campbell, for his assistance with writing in English and revising my manuscript.
—KEIKO KUBO
A project like Keiko's Ikebana requires that the composition and lighting be approached as simply and subtly as possible, allowing the arrangements to stand on the page without distraction. Light is a tool that is most powerful when it's wielded with the gentlest touch. You can't improve on a flower, but you can wrap it in light in such a way that it becomes almost luminous. That's what I set out to do in Keiko's Ikebana.
—ERICH SCHREMPP
