    Description

    Cherry blossoms are a nationally popular flower in Japan. One of its sidelights, the yaezakura, has a luminous glow that is like an agate. The petals that fall from the branches are a pale pink, a color that seems to melt into the air. Each of the double petals seems to be taking in light. This agate-like glow and the pale pink petals combine to give the double-flowered cherry tree an exquisite beauty. On the other hand, in ancient India, the roots and stems were used as a medicine for rheumatism and edema, and are said to be mentioned in the Ayurvedic medicine books. It is said to be derived from the Sanskrit word vandaka, "something that clings to or grows on trees. The dark purple-blue flowers are called jade orchid. The English name is Vanda orchid. Flowers loved in Japan and India meet in this banner. The softness of the double-flowered cherry blossom softens and harmonizes with the tropical coloring of the vanda orchid. The purple color is elegant and harmonious. Speaking of purple, a poet named Shion Mizuhara mentions the recent popularity of cherry blossom songs in her book "Revised: Are Cherry Blossoms Really Beautiful? The dramatic increase in the number of cherry blossom songs since the beginning of this century is probably not unrelated to the fact that Japanese society is losing its vitality, the disparity is widening, and the common illusion of a nation-state is breaking down. But even if we put aside the common illusion surrounding cherry blossoms, they seem to have a nature of harmonizing and harmonizing different things, as is still the case in Japan, where people gather to view cherry blossoms because of their beauty, a springtime tradition. In the process of cherry blossom viewing and partying, we nurture the ability to transcend the barriers between superiors and subordinates, seniors and juniors, and people from the city and the countryside. This composition has the power to bring together these different people.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Botanical Photo Composition. That is how I describe my artwork. Over the course of my many years as a florist, I have learned both the Japanese aesthetic of flowers as an ikebana flower arranger and the Western aesthetic of flowers as a floral designer. However, I have long felt frustrated that the beauty of the flowers I see and display every day cannot be reproduced in real life, no matter which photographer I ask. To "arrange flowers" is to ask the flowers and intentionally place them, in other words, to composite them. I realized that unless the photographer can capture the imagination of the flower arranger in his or her mind, the beauty of the flower as I see it cannot be expressed. I decided to stop leaving the photographing to others, and to photograph each flower, leaf, and branch from the perspective and angle that I myself, a long-time flower artist and hanashokunin, had intended to use to arrange the flowers, so that they would appear as individual elements, but also in harmony with the other elements at the end. I decided to photograph each flower, leaf, and branch from a viewpoint and angle based on the intent of the work. In this way, the materials for digital ikebana were freed from the constraints of season and space, and became flowers dreaming of the time when they could be arranged. I cut out these flowers, curated them according to my imagination, combined them, composed them, and composited them onto a digital canvas to present the beauty of flowers that I have witnessed and discovered in the many encounters with flowers over the course of my half-life. In this sense, I am just one of the representatives and agents of the beauty that flowers reveal.
