Photo Entry - Ikebana Exhibition

Hello friends! 

I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with my blog. I can see with the views I'm getting so many clicks and I don't know where you guys are all coming from lol. But anyway continuing on! It has been a very busy week with just going to uni and being social. I've been going out nearly everyday of the week and I need to take it easy. This post is all things Ikebana いけばな！Earlier in the week went and visited the Ikebana club with a few of my friends as my friend Suvd is the leader of the club . Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. 

Ikebana is harder than you think. And no way means putting a bunch of flowers together any way you want. I did a bit of research and they say it is a form of art where nature and humanity are put together. Ikebana also emphasis minimalism, the arrangement of the flowers can be based on a 'scalene triangle' where there are three main points that symbolises heaven, earth, man or sun, moon and earth. So these three points all have to placed in a triangle form and they all have to be a different height and placed at a different angle. It is harder than you think and after you hit those three main points you can then decorate it a bit more. That was the Ikebana I learnt for the week, there is heaps more to it but that's the only thing I understood that day. 

Continuing on Saturday was more of a museum hopping day. First up was the Ikebana exhibition and there were so many old ladies! It was so damn cute, the average age was probably 60. Here are some photos but be warned not for people who aren't interested in flowers and art and especially men.
