Basic Slanting Moribana Reversed Arrangement
Here, I'm showing you an example of basic slanting moribana reversed arrangement. Different from the basic slanting moribana, in the reversed style, the Shin and Soe switch positions between one another. And, if in the basic slanting style, the kenzan position is at #3, here, it is at #4. Let's look at how this is done in detail. First, study the kakeizu for this arrangement.  From the kakeizu, you will see that Shin is 45 degrees on the right, and Soe is 10 degrees, also on the right. The Hikae is 75 degrees, on the left. Now, cut the flowers according to the specified lengths. I'm using purple pom poms and ruscus leaves in this example. Then, place the kenzan at #4 position in the water-filled suiban.  Then, begin inserting the Shin, Soe and Hikae at their specified positions.  If you find the Hikae is heavy and having difficulty to make it stay at its position and keep on dropping, you may use a short stem to support it. Like this...  Then, insert the juushi for Hikae.  Since the Shin and Soe is quite bushy and can stand ot its own, there is no need to add the juushi for the Shin and Soe. Now, your completed moribana arrangement looks like this...
