What is pressed flower art?
Pressed flower craft is the art of using pressed flowers and botanical materials to create an entire picture from these natural elements. Flowers, petals, leaves and other organic materials are being pressed until dry and flat, using a variety of pressing techniques. This craft has long been practiced as an art form in China and in Japan, where it is known as Oshibana. As early as the 16th century, Samurai warriors were said to have studied the art of Oshibana as a means of enhancing their powers of concentration, and of promoting patience and harmony with nature. Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco also practiced Oshibana and helped promote the art of pressed flowers worldwide.
押花藝術
押花藝術取材大自然的元素，將花朵、花瓣、葉子和其他有機材料，經過各種壓制技術，製成圖畫。據說早在16世紀，日本武士就以研修押花藝術，作為提高集中力、耐力以及促進人與自然和諧共處的手段。摩納哥嘉麗絲王妃曾習押花藝術，協助推廣押花藝術至世界各地。
