Book description from dust jacket:

‘Using weathered wood, stone, dried materials, and plant materials collected from various sections of the United States, Mr. Ishimoto here creates new and exquisite permanent arrangements suitable for any interior. This well known designer, famous as teacher and photographer, provides 100 new arrangements showing how both traditional and contemporary principles can be applied to arrangements of dried materials.

Dried arrangements are imperishable and quite independent of season. The emphasis in composing a dried arrangement is less on color and more on the line and texture of the natural materials. The student learns how to collect the driftwood and other materials and what to look for in selecting it. Mr. Ishimoto then shows how to group and cut the pieces and how to arrange them to achieve the best effect. Superb B&W photographs show every step in the construction of these enchanting decorations as well as the finished product.

This vintage book is in great condition with no pen marks found. The dust cover has some wear, discoloration, and small tears. See photos.
