Why I make insect-shaped sculptures out of flowers

Ikebana is the ancient Japanese art of making very complicated sculptures out of flowers. Artist Raku Inoue is originally from Japan but now lives in Canada and he uses the technique to make works of art that look like creatures. Raku constructs these beautiful pieces to honour the memory of his grandfather.
