About the Hana-ishou style
About the Hana-ishou style
When new students try to learn the Ohara Ikebana, the first arrangement style taught, is usually Hana-ishou.
Hana-ishou is divided into two categories- “Basic and Advance” Both categories can include Tall Vase arrangements.
The basic Hana-ishou consists of Rising form and Inclining form. And the advance Hana-ishou consists of Radial form, One-Row form and Circular form.
The three arrangements using materials from the garden
The three arrangements using materials from the garden
Now, I’d like to show you three arrangements which are Rising form, Inclining form and Rising form in tall vase using the materials from my garden.
The materials used are Alstroemeria Lily, Bird of Paradise, Wisteria, Camellia, Azalea, and Geranium. You can use your own materials from your garden and make arrangement as you like.
Rising form
Rising form
Rising Form (one of most basic form)
Emphasizes flowering plants and branches natural upright beauty.
Materials: calla lily, Horse Tail and sweet williams
This style expresses the beauty of flowers or branches that rise vertically which emphasizes upright beauty.
I used Bird of Paradise as a subject and use a Pomegranate Branch as an object
There’re some rules for this style:
This form has same kind of rules as Rising form.
a. Subject’s length: no higher than twice the length of the container.
b. Object’s length: 1/3 of subject length. And you can go to left or right within 20 degrees of the center of arrangement. Position in front of the subject slanting 45 degrees.
c. The filler materials: not set rules as to the number, length and angle of the filler.
Inclining form
Inclining form
Inclining Form (one of most basic form)
Slanting beauty of flowering plants and branches.
Materials: Mock Orange, Japanese Fuji Mum and Small Mum
This style is created to make graceful slanting materials.
Materials are slanted forward toward the viewer in either corner and swinging a bit to either the right or left over the water space in the container.
For this arrangement, I use Fasciated Willow as a subject and Alstroemeria Lily as an object.
This form has same kind of rules as Rising form.
a. Subject’s length: one and half times the length of the container (diameter and depth).
b. Subject’s position: Slant of between 60-90 degrees.
c. Object’s length: 1/3 of subject length.
d. Object’s position: positioned in front of the subject slanting forward 45 degrees to the left or right of subject.

Rising form in tall vase
Rising form in tall vase
Rising Form in Tall Vase
Subject: Japanese Iris
Object: Geramium
Filler: Iris leaves and Geramium
I use Japanese Iris as a subject and use Geranium as an object.
Usually we use Kenzan (pin frog) to position materials, but in case of tall vase, we need various techniques to position to accentuate their natural beauty.
In this arrangement, self supporting method is used to position the subject. The subject is positioned so that it is slanting slightly forward touching the front of the mouth
of the vase and the base of the stem sits on the bottom of the vase. If you can not position the subject this way, there are some other ways to accomplish the right position. TWO ways, such as Bending method stay and “bamboo skewer stay” methods can discuss later at the meeting.
This arrangement expresses its vigorous growth pattern as naturally as possible.
