Kawaii

Kawaii is a suitable adjective to this work.



The color, form and size are kawaii compared with other ikebana forms. The front of this work is at any angles in 360 degrees. This work is not so high, so it is said to be suitable to a table coordination. Some people might think this form is too westernized, but actually, each flower has its role and has never same appearance. This is a condition for being an ikebana work. To look a work circulated, this form needs culculated angles and difference in height of flowers. For that, this form is theorized in ikebana. This style looks western, but indeed, there is a shadow of ikebana.

By the way, kawaii (means cute in English) is used to anything in Japan. It is used to a thing as well as a person. Use of this word in any situation was a sort of trend among young people for a long time, and older people worried that Japanese vocabulary was getting poor. In the now, the worry is the legacy of the past. Every Japanese takes the use for granted regardless of their ages.

So kawaii is used to this work, but it is not only kawaii but also fresh and crisp and gives us the impression of coolness, peacefulness and pureness.
