Thank you joining Ikebana workshop at Crow Collection of Asian Art June.9.2013

Dear my friends,Ikebana workshop at Crow Collection

Thank you for coming to Ikebana workshop. I am so happy to have such a wonderful meeting.

I love flowers and you love flowers.  I really enjoyed your Ikebana. Ikebana is art in which  you can express yourself  harmonising with the beauty of flowers and branches.  museum is  a perfect place to experience Ikebana.  Ikebana is sometimes translated Japanese art of arranging flowers.  It’s not  just putting  flowers into a vase, but you find beauty of flowers and greens and think how to express your feeling and beauty.

You and flowers and branches have to work together,  You need to look closely, try to make them look the most beautiful. You must know their natural character and beauty. There must be your  intention or feeling when you cut and arrange them.

How did you feel after you finished your arrangement? Ikebana workshp at Crow Collection

I heard some of o experienced sense of emptiness.  You couldn’t think of anything.  It seems to be a getaway or a kind of meditation.  I think you experienced  sense of  Mu: in Japanese 無 means nothing, empty. Calmness.
