Don’t arrange flowers without knowing their names. This shows lack of respect for the plant.
Lesson 02
Don’t use branches that point straight up toward heaven; don’t use branches that point toward earth, our mother; and don’t use flowers that point toward each other. Heaven, earth, and humans are sacred and to point at them is rude.
Lesson 03
Don’t arrange flowers so that they cover each other. Each flower, like each person, should shine with individual uniqueness.
Lesson 04
Flowers should not face the viewer like a mirror.
This implies narcissism and lack of humility.
Lesson 05
Don’t place flowers as if they are holding each other. Stand on your own, strong and independent.
