DESIGN TALKS plus S2015E4: Flowers
- Aired: 2015-05-14
- Runtime: 30 minutes
Overview
The flowers that grace each of Japan's 4 seasons have inspired many floral designs in both high art and everyday items. The Japanese love of flowers is most obvious in kado, the art of flower-arranging. Kado is not just about visual beauty - the flowers are symbols of life, and are used to express feelings like sympathy and spirituality. Our guest is Takashi Kimura, a kado artist who will take us on a journey through Japanese flower design.
