Here are some more information for Japanese Vase:
A floral center piece is often the focal point of the hors d'oeuvre table at any social gathering. Creating an intriguing display of flower arrangements is the aspiration of many creative artists and florists. These floral masterpieces can be created from dried, real, silk, or plastic flowers. Assemblage of these magnificent arrangements are generally for a wedding or baby shower, birthday party, business gathering, or other special occasion. The seven types of floral displays are explained below:
Vertical - These generally consist of large flowers placed in tall vases. The longer stemmed flowers are positioned at the center of the of the display with more delicate flowers placed towards the edge of the vase or cylinder. Being a taller display, it takes up very little room and looks great in a small space.
Oval - This shape for a display is popular for formal settings. There is a flower of a bright color in the middle of the oval and the flowers surrounding it are lighter shades of the same color. The further out from the center, the lighter in color the flowers are. These make gorgeous center pieces for official business meetings.
Crescent - The curve present in this display provides a bit of flair to an otherwise plain arrangement. The flowers are the same size all across this shape, but it does dress up the edge of a drab table.
Minimal - This arrangement is very common among household displays and are often found in a simple vase. There are usually just a few flowers placed in a glass or mug and in no particular order. Sometimes this minimal amount of flowers is all that is needed for a bit of character.
Pyramid - By placing the longest stemmed flowers in the center of the triangle and increasingly shorter ones closer to the edge, a pyramid design is created. These are very popular arrangements at weddings.
Horizontal - Using a shallow vessel for this display allows for the flowers to be arranged in a spread out pattern. The largest flower is positioned in the center, while filler plants and more petite blossoms are placed around this main flower.
Lazy "s" - Florists work extra hard to create these complex "S" patterned displays. There is much skill and hours of practice involved with creating arrangements in this fashion.
Kado is an art form of arranging flowers that is different from the Western way of flower arrangements. When creating displays using this Japanese art form, the main focus is on how it is performed. The Western way is more concerned about what the outcome looks like instead of the spiritual aspect of focusing on the act itself. Long ago, this art form was only practiced by priests. Today, anyone is allowed to arrange flowers in this manner.

Moss - Love'em or Kill'em - and Japanese Gardens
Moss is either loved or hated in the garden. People very often passionately rake it away. Why not to look at it as blessing to your garden? Its kinds are very difficult to recognize - you need proper book for that and magnifying glass. I don't remember since when I love moss. I think since always. Soft, fragile and moist. In my garden moss is welcomed everywhere. I try to grow it on my stones as well. Few months ago I covered them with yoghurt dilluted with water 1:1. No great effect yet, just little greenish something appeared.
You can appreciate moss beauty especially in the winter - when it is lush green and so soft to walk on. Grows in the lawn in the shadow? Great! I don't need to move it. Grass is weaker and weaker in these spots, and moss patches are larger and larger... and more and more green. Moss reminds me my second big and earliest garden fascination of Japanese Gardens.
I look for tranquility and harmony in the garden. In the smaller gardens it is even more important to not overload it with too many different plants.
I like them for meditative and tranquill character. I remember that in communist time in Poland there was not so many books about landscaping and Far East - that was of my special interest at that time. I made friends with the owner of the shop selling used/old books. Whenever something about Japan appeared on the shelf I was getting a phone call and I immediatelly run to the shop to see it.
There is six features as a synonym for an excellent not only Japanese but landscape garden.
According to the ancient book of gardens, there should be six different qualities to which a garden can aspire.
They are grouped in their traditional complementary pairs, they are:
spaciousness & seclusion
artifice & antiquity
water-courses & panoramas.
As the specialists say "it is difficult enough to find a garden that is blessed with any three or four of these desirable attributes, let along five, or even more rarely, all six."
Yet there is such case in Japan.
Its name is “Kenroku-en” which means “garden that combines six characteristics”, which is named by Sadanobu Matsudaira, a feudal load in the present Tohoku district (northern part of mainland Japan).

Looking for art reproduction of asian/chinese woman laying on chase lounge...?
I am going bonkers! I found this reproduction before and I could have sworn it was called "The Opium Den". Now when I am ready to purchase it, I cannot find it. It is a reproduction of a painting of a beautiful chinese/oriental young woman laying on a chase lounge or something similar and looking back over her shoulder at the viewer. I think she has an opium pipe (the kind attached to the porcalin vase). Can someone help me find the image? I believe she is wearing a red chinese outfit. It might have been a Kimono...but I am pretty sure she was Chinese not Japanese. the back ground is quite dark. It's not a watercolor, it is a fine-art type painting. Thanks!
I found some on ebay. here's a link to them
