Basic Slanting Nageire ArrangementNageire has two styles, which is the upright style and the basic slanting nageire style. Here, we will be discussing the latter.

Let's look at the kakeizu of this slanting nageire style.  And in this arrangement, I'm using cathamus and pink stargazer lilies. The Shin and Soe is cathamus, the Hikae will be the stargazers. Now, before inserting the flowers, we need to prepare the cross-bar fixture for this nageire arrangement. So, I've prepared the cross-bar made of pussy willow branch at the mouth of the vase, like this...  After cutting the flowers into the desired lengths, we can begin inserting the flowers into the vase. But to get the flowers into their positions according to the kakeizu, we need the aid of vertical fixtures. I've done one for Soe, like this...  For Shin and Hikae, I used the direct fixing method. Find out about more about vertical fixture and direct fixing here. Now, your Shin, Soe and Hikae are in place.  Then, insert the juushi for Hikae.  Since the Shin and Soe are quite bushy, they don't need supporting stems. So, in the end, your arrangement will look like this..
