Bending Branches in Bloom

It's spring and time for blossoming branches. This video shows an advanced method of making curved lines by putting wedges into the branch. It's a classical ikebana thechnique that is not used in this extreme way in modern schools. To me it looks kind of cruel to the branches. Anyhow it's interesting and beautiful to look at. The video is from the Kadou Enshu school of ikebana.
