Japanese Flower Arrangement for American Homes by Mary Badham Kittel offers a unique perspective on incorporating traditional Japanese floral design into American interiors. Published by Bonanza Books in New York in 1960, this hardcover edition presents a practical guide for those interested in the art of Ikebana. The book is notable for its focus on adapting Japanese aesthetics to suit Western home decor, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced floral arrangers. While the copyright page states 1960, this edition was published by Bonanza Books, a division of Crown Publishers, in collaboration with The Viking Press. The subject matter is particularly significant for enthusiasts of cross-cultural design and gardening. The book is out of print, adding to its appeal for collectors. The dust jacket shows signs of wear, with minor edge tears, but remains intact, preserving the book's charm.
