Slanting Moribana Variation 2

This is a guide on how to make a slanting moribana variation 2 arrangement. Remember that in the slanting style, Shin and Soe switch positions.

Here, in variation 2 style, Soe and Hikae switch positions. So, the 3 main stems positions will be as follows:

Shin = 45 degrees, forward on the left
Soe = 75 degrees, forward on the right
Hikae = 15 degrees, forward on the left

As a guide to arrange the flowers, here is the kakeizu for this style.

After understanding the diagram, you can start arranging the flowers to make this style.

For the flowers, I have chosen red anthuriums and purple chrysanthemums.

Prepare the container and the kenzan. Since this is a slanting style, the kenzan position is at 3.

Now, begin inserting Shin, Soe and Hikae.

Add the supporting stems for the three main stems and you have your variation 2 of the slanting style moribana arrangement.
