  • We found a facility where even beginners can suddenly experience Japanese flower arrangement. When we actually went there, the instructor carefully taught us about the history and culture of flower arrangement, and at the end we were able to create a magnificent work of art by ourselves. If you are interested in Japanese flower culture, please stop by when you visit Kyoto.

    What I find so interesting about Ikebana is where she says that symmetry isn’t interesting and having them at different heights and sizes is preferred. It a bit of a paradoxical for a society that is very collectivist and even has a saying, “the nail that sticks up will be hammered down.”

    • @LV_SL
      @LV_SL 2 роки тому +28

      Yet at its root, desperately hidden away, is a plate of brutal spikes that keep the whole arrangement together. Those that take away from the 'beauty' are subtracted... lots of things that make you think of Japanese society.

      As a reminder for you, acceptance of nature and harmony are also traits of Japanese culture. Nature and society are different things. Collectivist character is just a result of becoming resilient against natural disasters.

    recently, in the game genshin impact, they had an ikebana minigame event held at a country based on japan. since genshin impact is a game that has many fighting mechanics, i found the event really relaxing. the event was just replicating the arrangement based on a reference picture, but it was really fun making my own arrangements too. i hope if i get the chance to go to japan, i can try this art on my own

    The three points she shared are also similar in Bonsai as well. The first thing I do is select a FRONT by carefully staring at the natural lines of the tree for a while. Once that's done, I start sculpting the "LINES" along the branches and working the "SPACES" between them. And then going for an "ASYMMETRICAL" design, I can along the "wabi-sabi" imperfect beauty of the plant come out. Great video!

    • @karlgustav9960
      @karlgustav9960 2 роки тому +2

      Very sorry to hear you had a bad experience. It depends on the school a little and on the teacher a lot. Interrupting a student is not respectful, isually it’s show the practice, let the student try, correct after the student says „I’m ready“. Especially Ikenobo is about tradition and craftsmanship where as the newcomers like Ohara, Sogetsu have a stronger focus on expression. Maybe you can give it a second chance ?

I’m a Sogetsu instructor, so hearing „Ikebana is placed in the tokonoma“ made me cringe a little :-) Sogetsu-school founder‘s motto was „out of the tokonoma: Ikebana anytime, anywhere with any materials“ and that was almost 100 years ago.
