Flowers and Valentines make a perfect couple, so on Valentine’s eve, Japanese flower arrangement artist and instructor Yuka Sasaki talks about Ikebana and how Valentine’s is celebrated in Japan. Find out how Japanese flower arrangements differ from Western bouquets, more about the history of Ikebana, and what elements are important in these harmonious, tranquil works of art. Although the show aired on 13 February, it’s a treat anytime of the year to get useful and interesting tips, like this one – always cut your flowers UNDER water to make them last longer! You’ll be inspired and will soon be making arrangements of your own.
