Hanai

Hanai is a traditional Japanese floral arrangement style that emphasizes natural, unstructured designs, often inspired by the natural growth of plants. Unlike formal Ikebana arrangements, Hanai favors loose, spontaneous compositions with irregular lines and asymmetry, reflecting a sense of natural beauty and harmony with nature. It often involves using wildflowers or garden plants arranged in a way that conveys freshness, vitality, and a relaxed aesthetic, focusing on the expressive arrangement rather than strict rules or symmetry. This style celebrates the organic beauty of flowers and the artistic intuition of the arranger.
