Traditional Method
This is a technique by which the beauty of color is brought out based on set rules for materials as well as method of arrangement.
Color Harmony and contrast are of great importance in this method of arrangement, where the object is to use specific techniques to give full play to the growth pattern and individual character of the material. The chief aim is not the expression of scenic beauty but the correct expression of floral styles.

Heika ( Tall vase arrangement）
Where as Moribana was originated and developed by the Ohara School, Heika, literally "vase flowers," is part of the ancient historical tradition of ikebana. Unlike Moribana, which is done in flat containers, Heika is created in tall, deep containers like vases and pots. The essential difference between the two is the way branches are arranged and fixed in position..
The Slanting Style:
Just as the Upright Style (moribana) is the basic floral style in Moribana, the Slanting Style is the basic floral style in Heika. It expresses the beauty of branches that reach out horizontally.
The Upright Style:
The Upright Style in Heika expresses the beauty of branches that rise forward. The main point is to capture the light, buoyant movement of such branches
The Cascading Style:
The Cascading Style expresses the beauty of lines that flow gracefully downward.
