EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving, titled 'Items for Japanese Flower Arrangement, Ikebana,' showcases a selection of essential tools and materials used in the traditional Japanese art form during the 19th century Edo era. The image, a hanga print from the Shinshintei school of Ikebana, depicts a teapot, scissors, a lacquer tray, willow branches, daffodils, yanagi (willow) and suisen (moss) arranged in a harmonious composition. The teapot, with its delicate floral design, sits atop the lacquer tray, ready to serve a soothing cup of tea. The scissors, with their sharp blades, are poised to carefully cut and shape the willow branches and flowers, ensuring they maintain their natural beauty and vitality. The tray, made from fine lacquer, adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the arrangement. The central focus of the image, however, is the selection of flowers and branches. The willow branches, with their graceful curves and subtle texture, provide a natural framework for the arrangement. The daffodils, with their vibrant yellow hue and delicate petals, add a burst of cheerful color, while the yanagi (willow) and suisen (moss) bring a sense of tranquility and balance to the composition. This beautiful and intricately detailed woodcut print, created in 1835, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japanese flower arrangement, or ikebana, and the importance of nature, harmony, and mindfulness in Japanese art and daily life.
