1月24日の授業では「生け花」をテーマに、基礎知識、色彩や空間を活用した伝統技法、日本の美意識について学びました。その後、学生たちはグループに分かれ、盛り花を活ける演習を行いました。

初めて生け花に触れる学生も多く、まずは、ひとつひとつの花の名前や特徴を確認していました。盛り花作りはグループの仲間で話し合い、学習した技法に沿って、バランスを考えながら進めていました。

学生たちは初めて触れるお花に最初は慎重な様子でしたが、すぐに慣れ、豊かな発想を利かせていました。

座学だけでなく、実際に自身で体験することで、より知識も深まり、伝える表現も広がります。

 

【学生からのコメント】

Doing ikebana has brought me peace of mind!  I learned to be aware of "space" in the Japanese beauty, not in the western culture.  I also learned many names of flowers and plants. I would like to introduce ikebana to Hawaiian people in my study abroad HIBSCUS program in the University of Hawaii. It was a very enjoyable, productive, and wonderful experience.

What I learned from this flower arrangement session was the delicate Japanese beauty. Enjoying choosing flowers and designing them are not easy but I can feel the beauty of themselves.  Japanese beauty can be expressed in the bending of flowers and tree naturally with some space for the watchers to see the balance of unbalance in the Japanese minds, not symmetry in the western culture.  There may not be so many opportunities to experience Japanese cultural study in this class.  I really would like to make use of this delicacy and elegance of Japanese beauty that I learned in this lower arrangement class.

I was glad to take the class because I was interested in "IKEBANA" and I have done it before.  However, it was the first-time to me and it was more difficult than the western flower arrangement.  I learned the secrets of Ikebana: the direction, space, and scalene triangle are so important for IKEBANA. When I cut the branch, I was so nervous because I did not want to make mistakes, but our group enjoyed it.  I was not sure that I could do it right, but my Korean friend sent me a message of "This is correct, too. So beautiful!" in my Instagram.  Now I really would like to tell many people about IKEBANA.

I did ikebana for the first time and it was difficult to arrange flowers beautifully and well-balanced.  Ikebana needs to make "space".  I didn't know where to make it, but I was able to do so with my friends. There were five sets of flowers so that five groups arranged them interesting to show their personalities and messages. It was the valuable experience!
