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?
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.
