Though this is the most watched video among my unprofessional videos, you will be able to feel how much passion I have to share in the joy of Ikebana.
There must be appreciation for the life and beauty of plants and nature.It’s the secret which has been learned from teachers to students through practice.
Nature is very close to Japanese people. Nature is alongside to their life. It;snot something human conquer or control.
There must be an expression or message, which you may call a drama, created by the person who arranged.
Please watch it again and you will see how carefully I am watching stems and flower.(For beginners, it takes longer to find our the most lively and beautiful angle or placing but those moments are also appreciated and enjoyed like meditation.
The reason why I show my back is I would like viewers to have the same sight as mine.Also I want white solid background behind the flower arrangement(Ikebana) so that you can see delicate lines and angles of stems and aspects of flowers.I hope you will understand my intention.
Thank you for watching!
