內容簡介

內容簡介 花入一器，山川自成 | 日本花道「立花」經典圖譜一部凝鍊日本花道之美的經典之書，收錄來自紐約公共圖書館史賓塞典藏的珍貴圖像，重現17世紀花道藝術的極致風雅。書中精細呈現「立花（rikka）」——花道最古老、最正統的形式之一，源自日本最早、規模最大的花道流派——池坊。透過一幅幅細膩復刻的古典圖像，展現花材之間的和諧配置、枝葉與花朵的平衡關係，以及貼近自然的構圖精神。立花風格以挺立的枝幹與花材構築出鮮明的垂直性，在一只花器之中，凝縮山川景致，體現自然之美。本書所收錄的花作，可追溯至京都六角堂池坊歷代宗匠及其弟子，源於 足利幕府 時期的花道傳承。這些作品最早由池坊門人於1673年以木版印刷（xylography）記錄，並以顏彩（gansai）手工上色，成為珍貴的藝術文獻。書中並附有權威學者撰寫的專文解析，帶領讀者深入理解花道的歷史脈絡與美學精神。時至今日，花道依然是日本最具代表性的藝術形式之一，並在世界各地持續被實踐與轉化。它不僅是一門技藝，更是一種沉靜心靈的修行——在秩序、平衡與留白之中，體會片刻的安定與純粹之美。This beautifully illustrated volume celebrates the Japanese art of arranging flowers with reproductions of classical seventeenth-century artworks from the New York Public Library’s Spencer Collection.Meticulous reproductions of sublime paintings showcase rikka, the oldest and most traditional form of flower arranging, which is linked to the Ikenobō school, Japan’s first and largest school of ikebana. The images presented here perfectly illustrate the main principles of ikebana—harmonious juxtaposition of flowers, balance between foliage (leaves, fronds, reeds, etc.) and branches, and naturalistic compositions for display.Several schools and styles of ikebana have evolved over the centuries. The rikka style is characterized by the use of erect branches and flowers to display a marked verticality in order to express the beauty of a natural landscape in a single vase. The floral arrangements in this collection date back to the Ikenobō Grand Master of Kyoto’s Rokkakudō Temple and his disciples from the Ashikaga Shogunate (1336–1573). These flower arrangements were officially documented by Igai Sansaemon in 1673 in artworks printed xylographically and then hand-colored using the gansai watercolor technique. The reproductions are accompanied by authoritative text by one of the world’s leading authorities on Japanese art.Today, ikebana remains one of Japan’s most popular art forms, and it is increasingly embraced by flower arrangers around the world. It is a wonderfully meditative and contemplative form of creative and personal expression, allowing practitioners to flee their daily cares into a world of balance, order, serenity, and beauty.
