Worldwide, people love flowers! They bring in their homes to admire their beauty and delicious fragrance. In Japan, this love of flowers is raised to an art form called Ikebana.
Ikebana, a traditional Japanese art, is over 700 years and has flourished at the time of Muromachi (1333 to 1568). Ikebana means "the art of giving life to flowers." Also called KA-DO, or "way of flowers". An art that has its roots in offering flowers to Buddha, in the fifteenth century. However, the transformation in art took place outside the temples of Buddha.
Therefore, the first flower contest called "Hana-hawase" took place at the festival of flowers during the reign of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408) and due to this fact, the palace was called "The Castle of flowers ".
Over time it has become clear Ikebana art of different styles and schools. During this time, the purpose and the idea of ikebana have changed a bit: in the solemn atmosphere in the temple, to the intimate atmosphere of our house, from the philosophical and religious worship, the allure of the six senses.
In a way, Ikebana reduces life to the dimensions of a container, trying to recreate, reproduce and mimic the natural universe. It is able to make us breathe the fresh air of summer evenings and the nostalgic scent of autumn days. Its beauty is given by simple expressions that convey the splendor and the balance of nature and quiet room. "Through his work, the artist conveys a certain sense of excitement or state Ikebana to the observer. It is a great way to bring something special and interesting in our environment.
The same provision is set at three levels: the top level represents the sky, the middle level, representing the man and the lower level, which represents the earth.
The flowers that make the agreement was made with special care so special that perfectly fit the glass and create harmony when combined. Layer after layer of flowers mixed with the appropriate branches and leaves resulted in a work of art that stresses every component, in part, and expresses what every flower that is supposed to express.
Until 1850, almost all works of art were placed in jars of Ikebana and were mostly vertical. The old style was characterized by numerous restrictions and regulations that prevented him aligning and arranging the flowers in the desires of your heart.
Ohara Unshine stop these rules and began a new style called moribana. It was desirable not only to Japanese architecture, but also for Western-style buildings.
Regardless of style, brings harmony and Ikebana is an eye-candy for us. Due to its three-dimensional effect, which can be considered real floral sculpture. This is the difference between the ikebana and other floral arrangements.
They teach in schools of Ikebana in Japan and more than 3000 schools of Ikebana today. While this art has become a necessity for girls and Japanese women, which is not reserved just for them. Most samurai men have often been masters of the flowers. The men, of whom some of the greatest artists were born, to continue this tradition today.
Humans like to feel safe and have peace and harmony around you. Art is a good solution to the human need for beauty and harmony. It quenches thirst and no art inside, we would be losing a lot of shine!
The human mind is fascinating, and the only barriers are to be built. Few people have the courage to explore their ideas and express them in an art form that is consistent with his personality. An artist is in us all and all it takes is a little searching and experimentation to take outdoors, in doing so, we can bring joy and an extra touch of beauty in the world we live in and the lives of those we around them.
