INTRODUCTION
Collecting: An Attempt to Collect Plants and Natural Objects in Semba
“There is only one park around here," they said as they showed me around and told me how precious plants in this city are.
When I usually arrange plants, I bring trees from the abundant mountains and arrange them by looking closely at their good branches. However, I thought it would be meaningful to walk around this city and find and pick up plants and natural objects around here.
I believe that Ikebana is essentially about picking up the elements of nature, whether it be majestic nature of our everyday surroundings, and entrusting just one flower with the landscape.
(Creation Process)
Walk around the city and collect small materials such as trees, grass, stones, and sand that you see in parks and sidewalks.
