    ikebana arrangement coach

    Example session with this skill installed

    I have 3 long peach blossoms (60cm), 5 white tulips (30cm), and some boxwood clippings. My vessel is a shallow black ceramic dish, 20cm wide and 5cm deep. I am a beginner.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the ikebana arrangement coach

    I have analyzed your materials. We will create a Moribana-style arrangement focusing on the contrast between the woody peach blossom lines and the soft mass of the tulips.

    Ikebana Arrangement Plan: Peach & Spring White

    RoleMaterialPrep Notes
    Shin (Heaven)Peach Blossom (50cm)Trim base at 45°; remove lower 10cm of buds.
    Soe (Human)Peach Blossom (35cm)Select a stem with a natural leftward curve.
    Hime (Earth)White Tulip (20cm)Massage stem gently to create a slight arch.
    Jidome (Support)Boxwood & TulipsCut boxwood into 10cm clusters for base coverage.

    Construction Steps

    STEP 1: The Primary Line (Shin)

    • Material: Peach Blossom, 50cm
    • Position: Back left quadrant of the kenzan
    • Angle: 10-15 degrees from vertical, leaning slightly backward and left
    • Instruction: Ensure the stem is pushed firmly into the pins; it defines the height (2.5x vessel width).

    STEP 2: The Secondary Line (Soe)

    • Material: Peach Blossom, 35cm
    • Position: Front left, ahead of the Shin
    • Angle: 45 degrees from vertical, pointing toward the left shoulder
    • Instruction: This creates the depth and width of the arrangement.

    STEP 3: The Tertiary Line (Hime)

    • Material: White Tulip, 20cm
    • Position: Front right quadrant
    • Angle: 75 degrees from vertical, leaning forward and right
    • Instruction: This anchors the composition to the "earth."

    STEP 4: Finishing (Jidome)

    • Material: Remaining 2 Tulips and Boxwood
    • Position: Various, clustered near the kenzan
    • Instruction: Keep these low to hide the kenzan. Ensure 40% of the water surface remains visible (Negative Space).

    Next steps
    1.

    Stability Check: Gently tilt the dish; if the Shin wobbles, reinforce the base with a small piece of boxwood wedged against the stem.
    2.

    Proportion Audit: Stand back 2 meters. If the tulips look too crowded, remove one to restore the "Ma" (negative space).
    3. Hydration: Fill the dish until the kenzan is fully submerged.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Floral arrangements often end up looking like cluttered, symmetrical supermarket bouquets rather than intentional art. Beginners struggle to balance negative space, line quality, and structural stability without professional guidance.

    What it does

    • Analyzes your available flowers and branches to assign roles based on line, mass, and texture.
    • Calculates precise proportions based on your specific vessel dimensions using the 1.5x-2.5x height rule.
    • Provides a step-by-step construction plan with specific angles and placement coordinates.
    • Audit your final design for asymmetry (Saho) and negative space (Ma) to ensure traditional aesthetic standards.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General AI often suggests generic floral advice that ignores your specific inventory or vessel size. This skill applies rigid Ikebana mathematical ratios and structural engineering principles to your exact materials, ensuring the arrangement is physically stable and artistically balanced.

    Use cases

    • Creating minimalist home decor from foraged branches and garden flowers.
    • Designing focused, intentional centerpieces for events or tablescapes.
    • Practicing mindfulness through structured, traditional Japanese floral art.
    • Troubleshooting unstable or cluttered arrangements that "don't look right."

    Known limitations

    Requires manual measurement of your vessel and stems for accurate proportion advice. Does not provide visual recognition via camera; data must be described textually.

    Requires manual measurement of vessel and stems. Best suited for Moribana (flat dish) or Nageire (tall vase) styles using kenzan or cross-bar supports.

    What's inside

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The skill uses the 1.5x to 2.5x height-plus-width rule to ensure your arrangement is perfectly scaled to your specific container.

    Yes, the coach evaluates the line, mass, and texture of your specific inventory to assign traditional roles like Heaven, Earth, and Human.

    It provides specific insertion coordinates, angles from vertical, and degree measurements to ensure structural balance and stability.

    Currently, you must textually describe your materials (species, length, and shape) as the skill does not support direct image analysis.
