IRE イレ INSERTING



lately I wore KIMONO which is a Japanese dress at the party.
This is a beautiful blue dress actually.
One day before the party,I helped my mother with doing Ikebana.Ikebana is one of the Japanese traditional cultures.

After that I became to be really interested in Ikebana.

some days later I walked around the field and massacred some flowers and leaves. And sticked them. Inserted it into the dry,burned circle filed. It was so horrible nauseating sight. I got really frightened. That night,it rained heavily. I thought between asleep and awake that it is raining as this because the flowers are sure to want a lot of water. And the world will sink owing to their anger and pain and agony. When I was a child, I was afraid of weeding. I had a feeling of hearing the shout of flowers and leaves, and seeing their bloods. This is beginning of my interest in plants.












Ikebana,kadou

The famous director,Hiroshi Teshigawara is also known as a head of Sogetsu-Ryu.Sogetsu is one of the schools of flower.
I really love his films.

Hi,thank you!I am glad.

I suppose flowers in Hungury are perhaps so different from that of Japan.
So I am really interested in your ikebana!
Because The nature in
your video is so beautiful and fascinating. :)

By the way I am now also influenced by you and I am going to see the films of Miike Takashi and "Jisatsu sakulu".
I saw only "GOZU(2003)"(Do you know?) yet.

And have you seen "Love Exposure"(by Sion Sono,the director of "Jisatsu~")?
The film was hot topic among my friends in last year.

To tell the truth I don't know Japanese directors so much..
But Shuji Terayama's"Grass Labyrinth" was exciting though it is a bit old.
I will know more Japanese films!

And your music tastes is cool!
I love amon tobin too.
But I didn't know else except Boris.
