What kind of ikebana fits the interior of a Western-style building?
I visited the 21st special exhibition of "Harmony of Flowers and Vessels 2023" at Yokohama Yamate Western-style Museum.
Iemoto(the head) and incoming Iemoto of the seven schools of ikebana are arranging ikebana with worldwide tableware.
Ikebana(Japanese flower arrangement) was arranged in a beautiful Western-style building. It would be more valuable than the usual exhibition hall for my ikebana arrangements at home.
I was particularly interested in the ikebana that I like to arrange in my home, especially flowers. I want to introduce some of the works I saw.
Flowers in the garden are beautiful, after all!
In June, Yokohama Yamate Western-style House garden was in full bloom with hydrangeas and roses, which really made me happy.
In sentimentality, remembering my visits toYokohama Yamate Seiyo-kan as a student on a date , and wondering if any ikebana could compete with the overwhelming beauty of the roses and hydrangeas in full bloom in this garden. I thought before arriving at the venue.
Ikebana with glass, water, and acrylic
The first ikebana that caught my attention were those using transparent vases and materials such as glass and acrylic.
The water seen through the glass is impressive.
This ikebana work uses transparent vases and materials such as acrylic.
Sogetsu School, Akane Teshigahara Iemoto(the head) , glass works
These are works by Akane Teshigahara Iemoto(the head) of the Sogetsu School.
This arrangement is a glass work by Akane Teshigahara Iemoto of the Sogetsu School.
The blue walls, light blue glass vase, blue and purple hydrangea, and blue gradation are beautiful.
The hydrangea's round form and the glass vase's rounded shape create a lovely atmosphere.
This arrangement is another glass work by Akane Teshigahara, Iemoto(the head) of the Sogetsu School.
The light from the mirror, the glass vase & the water & the reflection of the light make a corner of the room sparkle.
Acrylic and glass vases reflect light in the room.
The acrylic and glass vases and water reflected the light.
In indoor spaces, which tend to be darker and smaller than outside, it effectively reflects light.
Many Japanese gardens have ponds (Western gardens have fountains) because nature plus water (shimmering water and reflecting light) is the most potent combination.
The collaboration of the sunlight and greenery outside the window and the shimmering blue water is beautiful.
Coordinating the acrylic sheet, acrylic rod, and glass reflecting the light is terrific.
