IKEBANA, Japanese style flower arrangement 〜生け花〜 Japan Vlog | easy Japanese home cooking recipe

I use scissors like these. This is multiplication, which is the most beautiful shape? Welcome to the kitchen today, going to show you like in the previous video, also join with since she was a child, has been trained in flowers, and she is also an instructor for she is going to show you how to arrange the flowers in flowers. Since the Jomon period in Japan, there has been a belief that Japanese people would erect a tree called a "time" to call upon the gods, and that the gods would then descend there . Even in Japan today, we see rituals to welcome the New Year's god, Kadomatsu, during the New Year holidays , but when this belief and Buddhism were introduced to Japan in 538, the practice of offering flowers in front of Buddha was introduced in the form of nails. These two elements have been combined to create a world that resembles the Muromachi period . Many schools emerged during the Edo period . It is a culture with a very long history in Japan, and I would like to introduce its basic form to you now. You look at what kind of branch would be best for you. So, for example, if there is a tree like this, we look at what parts we should take . So, I wonder what kind of leaves are beautiful, yeah. Shall we have some? When I receive it, I place my teeth in it with a humble feeling, as if I am receiving a life, rather than just handling an object. And then I 'll just remove some parts that I think aren't necessary . Yeah. After this there was another big one, and now I've cut these two branches. Well, like this, well, I'll take it. yes. yes. Well then, thank you very much. thank you. First of all, greetings are important. yes. All Japanese coppers are greeting for the first time. yes. First, we need scissors. We use scissors like these. If it's Ikebana, use scissors. yes. Here's how to hold it. Yes. I put a lighter on it and my little finger wouldn't fit in. yes. Hold it like this. yes. yes. yes. That's how you cut it. First, this is a water container, which is a vessel for arranging flowers. This is how flowers are sewn in Kenzan. It's very sharp. If you get stabbed, you will bleed. yes. It's called a nose stop, but this nose stop is not the only one. There is also a shape. Well, the basic ones are either round or square. yes. It 's the shape, yes. Well, first of all, the biggest firewood hole or tree called Thai is U, and we will receive it here, so we will write it as Yu. And that's what comes in the middle. Ikebana is a natural world within this water. Yeah. Ah, Kale Acid Water and the idea of ​​that garden are even smaller. Yes. And since the sea bream plays the role of a big father, we first look at which shape is most beautiful. I wonder if this is good or this is bad, and why there are so many leaves. There is a fire side, and one side is exposed to the sun and the other is not. Then, face the side that is being hit forward. I think I'm the better person. yes. yes. yes. So if I were the Osama, it would be strange to be on the other side of this. So how do you hold the flame and tell which side is the inside? Well, this side is the front and this side is the inside, so there are fewer teeth. That amount, yes. I agree. Also, depending on the plant, the color is dark. yes. The color can be light or dark. Which of these branches is the most beautiful? I think I should bring it over here like this and arrange it like this. yes. yes. yes. yes. that's right. yes. Well, that's true, there really are beautiful sights like this. yes. When you do it like this, it really does look beautiful and the flow is great. Let's take a good look at which is the most beautiful form of this plant . yes. It's also good training. Well, it's also for the sake of the plants to arrange them in a way that everyone thinks is beautiful . yes. yes. This is where you grew up. It's strange to say it like that. yes. Basically, upwards. Yes. that's right. yes. That 's right. yes. That's what it means to recreate nature inside. If leaves get in here, the water will become a little more susceptible to rot, so we remove those. Ah, yes. yes. The wooden ones are difficult to insert, so insert them in a cross pattern. Well, the cross is right. Now that I've pressed firmly on the sides, I'll move it up and then go to U. yes. Does it seem a little much? Then cut it again. Which image should be utilized? Around here, at the bottom. yes. Please be careful. Is that so? Yes. Please enjoy the layers as well. Basically, when cutting flowers, it is called draining. Cutting it in water will help it absorb water better. For some reason, a layer of air gets trapped inside. Ah, yes. yes. I think this central flower is a large one, but it could be a lily or a chrysanthemum . yes. You can use either one or both, but it's better to use one that's shorter than the other and one that's longer than the other. It feels a little bit powerful, yes. Well, that's it over there. yes. Ah, it looks good. So, there are some flowers that you just cut. For example, it could be something like being able to go to the front or being small. We will fill in the cracks using tools. We're going to make this invisible. After that, feel free to go and see for yourself. Even now, just looking at it, I can see that the technique is great, so I 'll just say, ``Well, well, well, well, this is the finished piece, so I'll start making some adjustments.'' So, can I point it towards you? He said " No, stop" without any hesitation and cut it off, so I was impressed. What I wanted to ask you today is that before you go, the atmosphere is like this and you feel like this, so you want to go like this, or if you are asked to go with these materials, you can say that you want to go into this kind of world, and so you can go. It's so much fun that the person comes into their own. Today I'm teaching you the basic form of the lower bassoon, which is very neat and well done, but I'm going to make some adjustments. please. yes. It's a sea bream, but it's presented in a really nice way. This way it's a little too close to the center. This is it. If there are too many leaves, you can cut them off at this point. Ah, so it's very important to decide where to place it so that it's clearly a sea bream. As I mentioned earlier, the side with the window will catch the fire, so we will bring the fire to that side. And this is sea bream. It's packed in nicely. However, when things shift like this, the reception becomes more solid. There are still a lot of leaves, so it would be effective to paint it at a high level. [MUSIC] Yes. So, the positive difference really highlights the beauty, and it creates space well, but it would be fine if the width was smaller. You can just fill it in later. First, I created the skeleton. yes. There is no need to bring it in a completely natural form. The tie and layer were decided here. Then you just fill it in. I'll tell you straight away. We can't let the leaves show, so we 'll bury them neatly like this. If you use this very briefly, it won't stand out too much and won't look too messy . If you arrange it like this, you fill in all of this . In this way, we will put the mountain in so that it cannot be seen . But it doesn't completely hide the water . If we hide it, the beauty of the vessel will not come out, so we fill it in . The standing posture is already decided just by this, and since this split flower is a flower that feels the wind, let's make it a little shorter. We will make use of the space. And since it's not yet full autumn, there are still a few more flowers to bloom. It's okay to include it. In terms of timing. There are still vestiges of summer, but the slight cracks give it an autumnal look and flow. If it was too rough, I could cut it more if I wanted to create a more extreme flow, but I think it's fine as it is for this time of year without cutting it that much. It's the time of year when autumn starts, so it's something like this . yes. [Music] Japanese culture and art are being negatively impacted. Strip it away. So now we have a plan for how to go about it, but if we continue to cut it down, we'll end up catching the sea bream. like this. You can still do this, right? Ah, this is this. Yes. So, I'll try to make it more negative. The cracks were also reduced. yes. This is still beautiful, isn't it? yes. So, next time I'll go and pick some chrysanthemums. yes. It 's a bit plain, but it's still cool. So, now we're going to take another layer. It's a calm feeling. Yes. It becomes much more sophisticated. But this is still beautiful. So, by just chipping away at it, the world of the pond is fully expressed. Kiyama, there are cases like this where you subtract something. yes. We continue to look at what kind of beautiful appearance this can have. Even if there is no nose, if the lines of the branch are beautiful, you can just show the lines of the branch, so this kind of expression is also acceptable as an Ikebana. yes. yes. This is what it is. This doesn't really fit the vessel, but it could be used on its own, for example, when paired with very old vessels. What worldview does it express? Banana helps you develop an appreciation for the axe. That's one of the very important things . If you pull it out of the oasis in a flower arrangement, something just doesn't look right. Yes yes yes. Even if Japanese ponds are drained like they are now, that kind of world still exists. I feel like that's a really deep point. yes. I wanted to show you a little bit of what it looks like at the end. No no no no no. I thought this was a view that you wouldn't see over there. I agree. yes. Thank you for today. yes. thank you very much. than. See next. thank you. thank you.
