小草の生花 

今年の巡回講座で紹介され、密かに憧れていた‘小草の生花’をお稽古することが出来ました。

花材はホトトギス、花の姿が独特でお気に入りの花材です。

可憐な姿を生かして小ぶりにいけるので、真は花器の高さよりほんの少しだけ高め、
バランスを考えて真、後あしらい、前あしらい、副、体の五本のみ。

黄ばみ始めた葉が秋の風情を演出してくれました。

森先生、とっても楽しいレッスンをご提供下さり有難うございました💜

This time I could practice Kogusa no Shoka (small-sized Shoka style), which I’ve been inwardly eager to do since introduced during this year’s annual lecture in July. 
The material used was Japanese toad lily, one of my favorites because of its unique flower shape.
In order to arrange compactly to optimally show the loveliness, the height of Shin was only slightly higher than that of the vase, and less branches (Shin, Ushiro ashirai, Mae ashirai, Soe, Tai, in total just five) were used for the best balance.
A bit yellow faded leaves helped to add autumnal atmosphere to the work.
Grateful to Mori Sensei for providing such an enjoyable lesson.
