Flower arrangement experience by a deputy chief priest of Choko-inn, an acting master of Misho-ryu Sasaoka
Japanese people love “Hanami”,flower viewing. People enjoy seeing Japanese plum blossoms in the early spring, cherry blossoms in the middle of spring, blue flags(Japanese irises) in early summer,and colored leaves in the autumn. They feel the air of nature and even feel the universe by seeing the flowers. Moreover, flowers and the other plants have been brought into rooms by people and deeply connected to their daily lives.
“Ikebana” meets such people’s hope that they want to be close the nature and the flowers.
In old times, Japanese thought that human is also a part of nature and various kinds of nature has gods in it. Natural creatures such as big mountains, forests and rocks were said to be the places where gods dwell and were worshiped by people. Our ancestors brought in the wild flowers and displayed them on alcoves in order to welcome gods in their house. This is said to be an origin of Ikebana.
It is essential to add buds of flowers, so that you will be able to enjoy the changes of flowers. The buds gradually begin to bloom, reaches to its peak and withers. Nature has taught many things to Japanese people through workings of human and lives of flowers.
Flowers arrangement of Misho-ryu Sasaoka is said to be a “beauty of subtraction” which has minimum branches and sophisticated silhouettes. This style is compared to a master of modern architecture, Mies van der Rohe’s design theory “Less is more”( Making better space from selected and less materials).
The first thing you will learn in this experience is “Kata”. It is a structure of flower arrangement created by the predecessors If you follow the structure, anyone will be able to arrange flowers beautifully. Let’s cut the branches of flowers into the decided length and re-create a work of masters from old times.
In this experience, learning techniques to arrange flowers beautifully is not the only you will do. You may also feel the warmth of lives and changes of the seasons by looking at the flowers you arranged.
