Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flowers and Gardens of Japan An apology is due to the reader for adding this volume to the long list of books already written on Japan; but, being a lover of flowers myself I found there was no book giving a short account of the flora of the country which is so often called the Land of Flowers. Hence my excuse for offering these pages, either to those who may be intending to visit, or to those who may wish to recall the memories of a sojourn in the Land of the Rising Sun. The book does not pretend to furnish a complete list of all the flowers to be found in the country, but rather to give a description of those which are most remarkable for their beauty and profusion, and which are most closely associated with Japan.

Download or read book Japanese Floral Calendar Classic Reprint written by Ernest Wilson Clement and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Floral Calendar The Japanese are a nature-loving people and frequently give practical expression to their feelings by taking a holiday simply for "flower-viewing." At the proper season, the entire nation, so to speak, takes a day off and turns out on a big picnic, to see the plum blossoms, or the cherry blossoms, or the maples, or the chrysanthemums. No utilitarian views of the value of time or miserly conceptions of the expense of such outings prevail for a moment; for the Japanese are worshippers of beauty rather than of the "almighty dollar." A few pennies on such occasions bring many pleasures, and business interests are sacrificed at the shrine of beauty. And, as one or more flowers are blooming every month, there is almost a continuous round of such picnics during the year. It is our purpose, therefore, to tell something of the flower or flowers popular each month, with some folk-lore, poems, or other description thereof and have it illustrated by pictures. But first we must call attention to the fact, that the Japanese word hana includes, not only a "flower" or "blossom" according to our conceptions, but also twigs, leaves, grasses, etc... so that the pine, the maple, and even the snow may come into this category. We are confronted at the very outset with a chronological difficulty in presenting this subject to Western readers. For the programme of Japanese floral festivals was originally arranged on the basis of the old lunar calendar, so long in vogue in Japan. By that calendar the New Year came in about the 21st of January to the 18th of February; so that it was from three to seven weeks behind the Occidental solar calendar. For instance, the following is a floral programme according to the "old style" First month (about February) Pine. Second month( March) Plum. Third month( April) Cherry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower of Old Japan: And Other Poems It is a perilous adventure - the writing of a preface, however brief, to one's own poems. For one may be tempted to re-state matters that could find their full elucidation only in the verses themselves. Tennyson once remarked that poetry is like shot silk, glancing with many colours; and any attempt to define its meanings is as great a mistake as the attempt of nineteenth-century materialism to enclose the infinite universe in its logical nut-shells. Through poetry alone, whether of deeds or words, thought or colour, passion or marble, is it possible to approach the Infinite, or as Blake did: - 'To see a world in a grain of sand, A heaven in a wild flower; Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Flower Arrangement (Ike-Bana): Applied to Western Needs I am confident that a recognition of the beauty of a few flowers naturally arranged will bring flowers more into general use by those who have hitherto felt that quantity was necessary to produce any pleasing effect.

Even one Spray of green can suggest the freshness of growing things which is so often Shut out from our city lives; while our masses of roses and violets suggest only the hot house and are out of the reach of many who could have a few flowers.
