Heika (‚Ö‚¢‚©j
Heika is a basic style of Ikebana in tall vases which highlight vertical lines. The biggest feature is the emphasis on the flowers natural charms. This type of arrangement consists of three main elements-primary, secondary, and ornamental stems; their lengths, positions, and angles differ depending on the type of heika style you are using. The Slanting style is one of the more popular types ot Heika arrangements. The primary stem is one and a half the height of the vase, and the secondary and ornamental stems are half of the primary branch in size.
This is an example of Heika.
How Heika Is Arranged
In Heika, the primary stem is 70 degrees and spread across a 45 degree area to the left and front. The secondary stem is placed behind and to the left of the primary stem to give depth. The ornamental stem is put so that it slants forward at a 60 degree angle across a 30 degree area to the right of the primary and secondary elements.
Moribana(‚à‚è‚΂È)
Moribana is made in a small container and a kenzan. Kenzan is a holder with sharp points in which flowers can be inserted. Moribana is piled up flowers. The major feature of Moribana is the wide spread of natural looking shapes and mounds of beautiful flowers. While the heika style of ikebana is over six cenutries old and has vry particular rules, moribana isn't quite as fussy, being only just over a century old. The different types of moribana depend on the locations and angles of the primary, secondary and ornamental stems.
This is an example of Moribana
How Moribana Is Arranged
In moribana the primary stem is placed vertical, while the secondary stem is tilted at a 45 degree angle and spans over a 30 degree area to the front and left. The ornemental stem is tilted at 60 degrees and spans over a 45 degree area to the front and right. When viewed from above, the three stems form a right-triangle. (Flowers are placed within the triangle to fill the shape.)
