Ikebana

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, based on creating harmony with linear construction, color and rhythm. This art is very different from the western way of flower arrangement, which is mostly based on the quantity and the colors of the flowers; ikebana is all about the linear aspects, trying to imitate nature instead of copying it, basing the structure on 3 main points that symbolize heaven, earth, and humankind. It is common to see ikebana with only foliage and no flowers, or maybe a single flower with no foliage but with rocks, but paying a little bit of attention, we'll see the perfect harmony between the flower's color, the rock's shapes and color and the vase's color.
