The story of the Japanese master of flower arrangement

"There is nothing happier than giving birth to the flowers of the four seasons, getting life from them, and enriching their hearts."

  

"Flowers should be arranged as if they were blooming in the field"

the third item in the Seven Principles of the Tea ceremony of Qianlixiu, a Japanese tea saint, is "like flowers in the wild", which means "flowers should be planted as if they were blooming in the field".

Magnolia, calamus, lily, day face; goblet, Derry wine pot, pre-flower ware, Xinle roast …... There are always some flowers that are just right for a vessel and are unartificial.

Akira Tanaka


At the first sight of a flower, you can think of the matching utensils. Shocking Tanaka, the owner of an ancient art shop in Nara at the age of 22, has been living with flower arrangements for more than 50 years.

with gratitude and respect for nature, the first thing he thought about before arranging flowers was how to make flowers survive longer.

"go deep into nature to find flowers". Nothing is more beautiful than flowers in nature. Flower arrangement is his most direct contact with nature, which is the direct intersection between man and flowers and utensils.

the flower works in his hands always have the temperament of "tea ceremony and silence", either swaying, fresh and pleasant, or lonely, full of the most primitive and beautiful natural forces. Every time he saw that the flower apparatus and the flower seemed to be a natural match, he could not help feeling: "the flower can bring so much happiness and emotion!"

Tanaka

when he was 77 years old, his husband visited the suburbs of Nara for one year, looking for seasonal flowers and leaves, matching the treasured artifacts or daily objects of "Youming Hall", and made this volume of stories of flowers of the four seasons.

       opposite the spring club in Nara, Japan, there is a small ancient art shop called Youming Hall. Visitors to Nara often go to Youming Hall, not to buy antiques, but to taste a mouthful of matcha personally made by the shopkeeper and reward the wildflowers picked by the owner and matched with antiques.    Youmingtang      

the shopkeeper of Youmingtang is the 80-year-old master of the tea ceremony and flower ceremony, Mr. Zhaoguang Tanaka.

Mr. Shokuang Tanaka, who is nicknamed "can't be nunnery", is a person who is crazy about flowers. He started running an ancient art shop in his 20s and first began to arrange flowers and cook tea to attract guests, but as soon as he entered this way, he was deeply intoxicated and immersed in it for 50 years.

His flowers, do not rigidly adhere to the rules of the traditional flower path, with old flowers washed by time, have a wild and extensive natural beauty.

Tanaka    

to visit the flowers, he walked into the mountains alone and accidentally fell and was told that "he can only walk on crutches from now on." Fortunately, after recovering from the injury, his enthusiasm for visiting flowers has not abated at all.
