In Korea, traditional flower arranging―Cocoji―is reflective of the Korean people's nature and artistic aesthetic. It's an important element of the country's unique culture. Flower arranging was once a common hobby of Korean women; however, during the 50 years of invasion, occupation and war that occurred in that country in the first half of the 20th century, Cocoji was buried and almost forgotten. Today, regrettably, it is often practiced only by professional groups.
