Moribana and Nageire part 3

After much delay we come to the last of the basic styles, Cascading.

Cascading is the style where the main stem hangs lower than the rim of the vase. It stresses the use of  flexible materials which create beautiful lines and compliment the flowers.The  idea is to expose the side, you want your audience to see the arrangement from its side or wherever  they can see most of the arrangement. Keep in mind that the room and where you put it can affect how people perceive it. It might be hard to understand but here are some pictures to help you see what I mean.
