Megurihana [Saiki *Art Party Tokyo] July 6th Summer Stargazing

_____

"Megurihana" is a couplet of flowers. As if weaving a haiku (song), everyone who gathers on the spot arranges flowers in one vessel. I can receive the flowers that other people have arranged. Even if they don't put it into words, they consider each other and influence each other, creating an unspoken story. Sometimes it goes beyond my expectations, and sometimes my thoughts overlap with someone else's. You may be able to see the contours of a mysterious, ambiguous and uncertain existence called "yourself", or the boundaries between others and space-time may blur gently.

make flowers. I believe that by giving the cut plants the light of "life" again, it will be a time to face our own "life".

This is an art event that invites Mr. Yuichi Tsukada, the representative garden planner and flower artist of the Greenhouse, to bring you a sense of the climate, restore your physicality, and open up paths between people and nature through the four seasons.

Under the title of Saishiki, four rounds of flowers [Spring/Hanami/Summer/Hoshimi/Autumn/Tsukimi/Winter/Yukimi] at the turning points of the seasons throughout the year [Summer/Hoshimi] is.

Let's draw together the ties between plants and people rooted in the lunar calendar and the climate while incorporating the stories of the place and season.

Even if you have no experience with fresh flowers, Mr. Tsukada will carefully explain how to handle flowers, so please feel free to join us.
