Neji-shiki is a traditional Japanese technique used in the art of flower arrangement, known as Ikebana. This method emphasizes the natural beauty of flowers and plants, focusing on balance, harmony, and simplicity. Neji-shiki arrangements often feature a central stem that represents the main theme, surrounded by complementary elements that enhance the overall composition. The term "Neji" translates to "twist" or "turn," reflecting the unique way materials are arranged. This technique encourages creativity and personal expression, allowing practitioners to explore various shapes and forms while adhering to the principles of Ikebana.
