About the Book
This is a collection of Shoso Shimbo's works created from 2016 to 2020. Included are his environmental art installations, sculpture, ikebana works, commercial floral works including bridal flowers.
Shoso has been exploring environmental art from an Ikebana perspective. Some traditional aspects of Eastern art can offer a different perspective on our attitudes to the environment.
Shoso 2020 reveals his direction toward new type of minimalism, where Japanese aesthetics are re-examined in the age of environmental crisis.
