Concept [Tsubomi] I named my handmade cushions “Tsubomi (Buds)”. What I put in the word “Tsubomi” is the spirit of hospitality. When Sen no Rikyu, the great Japanese tea master in the 16th century, treated guests in the tea ceremony, he always arranged a flower bud to show heartfelt hospitality. Rikyu believed that this single bud had power to change a tea house to an especially precious place. I have long wanted to create handiwork just like Rikyu’s bud. [Geometry] Each spherical cushion here consists of twelve transformed four-sided pyramids. When trying to depict botanical motifs with fabrics, their formative designs tend to become the ones that just copy the plants. That does not suit my taste. [Arranging] In buds, life and future to come into bloom are inherent. Arranging a flower bud means to share its life and future. I wanted to plant these vital powers in Tsubomi series, too. I would like you to enjoy arranging the Tsubomi cushions just like the flower buds. I hope you find something new in your life by doing this. |
