Boat arrangement.
Sansevieria trifasciata and Calla Lilly.
The boat arrangement is a very old type of Shôka arrangement. It's usually hanging, either from the ceiling or wall-mounted, symbolizing a ship going out on the sea or coming back again. The Oki-fune or Tomari-bune arrangement depicts a ship at harbor. This style can also be placed at a table and should be a very peaceful arrangement - a boat at total rest.
The Sogetsu school doesn't teach the old classic ikebana styles, but uses them for inspiration. With a reference to old symbolic codes this Shôka-inspired arrangement says: Well done, you've made it through the storm. Now is the time for resting and regaining peace.
