nageire, (Japanese: “thrown in”), in Japanese floral art, the style of arranging that stresses fresh and spontaneous designs adhering only loosely to the classical principles of triangular structure and colour harmony. A single long branch with shorter branches and flowers at the base arranged in a tall upright vase are characteristic of the nageire style. Nageire was originally a general term meaning all arrangements that differed from the ancient, highly stylized temple art of rikka. It was later applied to the lavish large-scale arrangements popular during the 17th century and now refers to flexible designs that reflect the changing patterns of modern life. See also rikka.
