Drag words into the blanks.

More than simply putting flowers in a 1, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and 2 are brought together. Contrary to the 3 of a particolored or multicolored 4 of blossoms, ikebana often emphasizes other areas of the 5, such as its stems and leaves, and puts emphasis on shape, line, and form.

Though ikebana is an 6 of creativity, certain rules govern its form. The artist's intention behind each arrangement is shown through a piece's color 7, natural shapes, graceful lines, and the implied meaning of the arrangement.
