Day 2: Second competition task: 100% hand-tied
The second task requires the creation of a revolutionary bouquet that is striking, unique, and never before seen in a time limitof 1 hour.
Bamboos grow straight. I split them thinly and re-formed them into inconceivably tortuous ones, which is the base of this work.
竹は直線的に成長するものです。それを細く裂いて通常ではあり得ない曲線の竹に再構築し花束の土台としました。
I used dahlias. In the language of flowers, dahlia signifies thankfulness. It’s my favorite flower.
ダリア。日本の花言葉では「感謝」で、大好きな花だからです。
I receive much benefit from lots of people even though I’ve never met them. I would like to give a message of thankfulness to all living beings and creatures.
会ったことがなくても様々な方から恩恵を受けて生活しています。
生きとし生けるもの皆へ感謝のメッセージをつけて贈りたい。
Day 2: Third competition task: 100% organic
Task three relates to freedom by reduction. All of the contestants are required to avoid using any materials that are not recyclable. This is all about creating a 100% organic workpiece that is free of floral foam, wire, or metal.
I used bamboos, solid wood, 100% organic Nikawa glue, 100% natural persimmon juice as paint, linen strings, etc. I express mountains, rivers and valleys in the landscape of my home country and peace in the composition of flowers and 1,200 bamboo pieces.
竹、無垢の木材、１００％オーガニックな接着剤のニカワ、塗料も１００パーセント天然素材の柿渋、麻紐など。１２００個の竹のピースと花々で山、谷、川を思わせる我が故郷の原風景、平和を表現。
The modern world is very convenient but on the other hand, I feel like organic items are getting fewer than before. Metallic screws are usually used in modern architecture, but in Japan of the past, they used to have an organic building technology without nails. This time, I adopted that technology. For this theme, I looked around historic buildings and nature landscapes and I’ve rediscovered the wisdom and technique of the ancient people in the past long before I was born.
世の中は便利になっている反面、オーガニックなものは少なくなってきていることを発見しました。
現在の建築では金属のビスを多用していますが、昔の日本では釘などを一切使わないオーガニックな建築技術がありました。その技術を今回取り入れています。
歴史的なものや自然な風景を見て回ったり、自分が生まれるずっと前の先人の知恵や技術を再発見しました。
