Nishuike
Teresa Silverman
Teresa refers to the nishuiki style of shoka as the Middle Child. It is not as controlled as the first child, isshuike nor as loosely controlled as the last child, sanshuike. In this shoka family, isshuike, which uses 1 plant species, shows the beauty of that plant with all its elements. Nishuke, with 2 species, demonstrates contrast between the 2 forms. Sanshuike, with 3 species, strives for harmony
