| - | * Rokkaku-do sect used flower offerings to teach Buddhism, then in 室町 one of its priests made them just for fun (in the large あしかが-room, obviously, so the arrangements themselves were quite large and the 花入 used obviously all Chinese). | + | | big room | 120 cm | 180 cm | |

| + | * Vase should be simple, so that the flower remains the focal point (LK 23) | ||

| + | 🛹 If your 床 is not floored with 畳, but instead has a board (making it an 板床), then you don't need any boards; you put all the flower containers directly on the 床板. | ||

| + | ===Arrangement of the flower=== | ||
| + | * しゅこ: No conscious effort when arranging flowers | ||
| + | * 利休: Pick one or two cuttings of the same flower, maybe add some 'soft fullness' | ||
| + | * According to [[nanpouroku|南方録]] one blossom for the small, two for the big room. | ||
| + | * LK 23 said it should be one or two, or an uneven number of flowers (including grasses) | ||
| + | * Not more than 3 colours | ||
| + | * 利休: 花は の に ある よ に「The flower should be as it is in the field」 | ||
| + | * LK 23 go a bit more into depth: | ||
| + | * For the 花入, it makes it a lot easier if you put one or even two horizontal stalks in there. Like this the flower doesn' | ||
| + | * <wrap info> | ||
| + | * For the 花, cut them //in water//, then leave them in water for at least an hour so they become happy. | ||
| + | * Prepare more flowers than the guest needs for 所望 | ||
| + | * For the 花台, wet it and dab it dry; a towel under the flowers makes sense, so you can prevent dripping on the 畳 | ||
| + | * Pick a flower up, hold it between your fingers and release the pressure slightly to see how it wants to fall. This is how it should be "in the field" | ||
| + | * Hold it next to the vase, and consider the point of view from where it will be seen. It might look shit from the side, but nice for someone sitting in front of it. | ||
| + | * Taller things to the back, duh; all faces the front. Often a main flower, and a secondary (姫) flower. | ||
| + | * To cut, knife from underneath the stem, thumb on the other side. Twist the end of the stem down, then pull the knife. Put the cut end on the right bottom corner of the 花台 | ||
| + | * Place it with one breath (but adjust a bit, if necessary) | ||
| + | * If you're not doing 花所望, spray them a little bit. Take a towel with you, so that you keep the spray from getting on the 床. If you're doing it, spray the flowers before putting them on the 花台. | ||
| + | * Brown parts and bug bites are okay; better to leave them than to cut part of the leaf. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Stories==== | ||
| + | * 利休: In 1567 did a 茶事 where he had the guests return after 中立 to find an empty flower vase with some water in it. 利休 explained to his guests to imagine the flower; and CQ41 describes this as the ultimate 茶花. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ====Flowers==== | ||
| + | * Generally, pick flowers that are a little closed, if you can find them (LK 23) | ||
| + | * 利休 chose short-lived flowers, and forbade the use of long-lived, garish or strongly-smelling flowers such as sweet daphne (// | ||
| + | * [[people|Naosuke]]: | ||
| + | * For 炉, camelia is //the// flower, for 風炉, it's the Rose of Sharon (むくげ、// | ||
| + | * Morning glory a bit frowned upon in Urasenke because of the story of 利休 and 秀吉, but here it's a perfectly fine flower (Larry 23) | ||
| + | * Narcissus, however, works well. | ||
