What ikebana means to me.
The greatest discovery of ikebana for me was that it is not a form of art, it is not a style, it not a flower arrangement - it is all of it together. Canonic compositions of upright and slanting style gradually build up your skills and unleash your creativity. By the end of the student course, Ikebana became a medium for my artistic expressions, I was using plants and unconventional materials, vases, containers, boxes as I would normally use paint and a brush to express my feelings. Thinking regularly of ikebana and why this Japanese flower arranging excites me so much, I have come to a conclusion that with gracious flowers you can not transmit a message of hate to anyone. Your composition can connote disgust, anger or any other negative feeling, but on top of that it will stay beautiful. It will stay strong on spiky lead flower frog, spread dynamics, show tension, but first and foremost it will convey thoughts of the artist, not the artist’s attitude towards another persona or event. Take writing or drawing - your dubious or intentionally unpleasant poem or a caricature can harm somebody’s feelings. With ikebana, the flower arrangement will be a silent food for thought. No matter how thorny the brunches you have put in.
When I started lessons of ikebana in 2021, I knew that it is the answer to my question, whether I can use wild herbs and florets that surround me on my daily walks or I should stick only to the fancy flowers from the florist in town. I see the beauty in the swirls of Norland heather and spiky like a Sforza castle thistle; I love broad velvety leaves of burdock and I get inspired by fireworks explosions of cow parsnip in autumn. Fascination of the most charming English rose can be dulled by the vibrant unsuitable vase, in contrast, its allure can became superlative once you put it in a simple transparent vase and add a naked leafless brunch. I have recently explored the Maze-zashi style in ikebana, it is when you combine more than five different plants in the arrangement, but you aim to achieve simplicity and get the effect of a naturally growing piece of flora. Maze-zashi, a mixture of different plants in one container is my way to express my DNA when arranging flowers. I deeply miss the grandparents’s countryside house in the Moscow region. I remember, when I was a child, I stayed there with my cousin; we hid from the torrential July rain inside the wood house and counted seconds from the lightning to the thunder to find out how far was the storm. Grandfather took us to a spring, we walked for quite a while through an abundance of field flowers. I remember how cold was the water in the spring, how quickly passed trains of clouds along the sky to create a permanent breeze. Grandma was making boiled potatoes with salt and butter for lunch. Out of the kitchen window you could see a bright pink, fragrant rose. It always blossomed for my birthday at the end of June. Here I am today, living in the North Lincolnshire, with my husband and son, Henry, whose second name is Pranyok, as my grandmother’s uncle was called. For various reasons, I am unable to freely travel and see my family, my beloved grandparents. I can only cultivate their love and passion for the garden and nature, I can only show my identity through my flower arrangements. Here I am, pushing white flimsy umbrellas of wild carrot onto the pins of the kenzan. And a rose, a big pink fragrant rose.
