Observing the process”Ikebana” is a form of flower arrangement established during the Muromachi period. Back then they were only appreciated by the higher classes. However, from the middle to the end of the Edo period, it became popular and spread among the commoners. The 3rd Iemoto of Ichiyoshiki Ikebana, Akihiro Kasuya commented, “People may think ikebana is all about the final arrangement, but “I want people to actually see it being created.”” |
Relating to flowers in your own wayKasuya was born in Tokyo as the 3rd son of the second Iemoto and learned about flower arrangement since his youth. When he was 17, he began to present flower exhibitions in and out of his school, but in 1967 he traveled to New York to study interior design. We mentioned Kasuya’s comments of the importance of “seeing actual demonstrations,” and that is what Kasuya does most of the time. He holds impromptu performances. Nakata asked, “Then how important is the ”style of the school”?” |
