Learn The Basic Slanting Moribana

To know the basic slanting moribana, you need to be familiar with the basci upright moribana.

In the slanting style, the position of Shin and Soe is changed between one another. Shin will take the place of Soe, and Soe will take the place of Shin.

Hikae's position will remain the same. And, instead of kenzan position #1 and #2 for the upright style, we will use #3 and #4 for the slanting style.

Let's see how it is done.

In this ikebana arrangement, I'm using yellow gerberras and japonica foliage. The gerberras will be the Hikae and the Japonica will act as both the Shin and Soe.

First, study this design's kakeizu.

Next, fill up the suiban (shallow container) with water and place the kenzan at the #3 position.

Then, start inserting the Shin at 45 degrees to the left, the Soe at 15 degress to the left and the Hikae at 75 degrees on the right.

When that's fixed, begin inserting the juushi for the Hikae, like this...

And the juushi for Shin,

And lastly, the juushi for Soe,

Now, the moribana arrangement should look like this...
