Hasegawa's Arrangement: 65 Points - "Nageire" is Surprisingly Difficult

Observing Hasegawa's arrangement, Waki Masami commented, "It's quite good for a first attempt, but knowing a few key points will make the flowers stand out even more beautifully."

The key is to keep an isosceles triangle in mind.

Arrange the flower stems by crossing them from the outside, creating a spiral.
While paying attention to the angle of the leaves and the front of the flowers, arrange them to form an isosceles triangle. For example, create an asymmetrical flow, perhaps from the upper left to the lower right.
Furthermore, another important point is to remove excess leaves after arranging.

Creating asymmetry brings a sense of boldness, resulting in an arrangement that embodies the "New York style."

Upon seeing Waki's arrangement, Hasegawa remarked,

"It's beautiful when the same types of flowers are grouped together. When seen as a mass, the flowers come alive. It has volume, and I really understood the concept."

Waki advised, "Rather than scattering flowers trying to fill the space, focus on the isosceles triangle as a ground design and create a visual flow (from top to bottom). This will lead to a more cohesive arrangement."
