I’ve been searching everywhere for someone to demonstrate Ikebana. Finally Peter posted one himself. Yay

[@uniotter2662]

What a great idea to add beauty to our environment. I'm going to do it today to pick my spirits up. Thank you, Peter, for sharing your talents and ideas with us. :)

[@paullill5604]

Sunday breakfast with Peter. I saw the stunning displays pop-up on Instagram and just love how nothing goes to waste with Peter, Stay well Stay safe.

Thank you for showing us such beautiful simplicity Peter. Wonderful!

Woke up to -17C today, but as soon as I can get into my garden this is what I will be doing...thanks Peter...you are the best

Hi Peter.Quite an interesting topic. I am always in awe of your presentations.This was certainly enjoyable.

[@cristianbranea5034]

This video was long overdue, Peter! You mentioned many timed in your bonsai videos that you also make Japanese flower arranging so I am glad you finally showed us this. Now waiting for your take on Kusamono and shitakusa. :)

It was quite interesting that Mr Chan referred to Ikebana master.

[@geoffm5eay]

One of the best talks I have ever been to was by Diane Norman who is an Ikebana master it was superb. I like what you are doing here Peter,

[@MidniteSan]

Another tasteful touch of art by Peter we don't see much, going to try one my self 😁. Thx for sharing Peter 👍 cheers

[@Stettafire]

It strikes me as a good use for some of the trimmings that come off pruning of my plants. I may not do true Ikebana, but I think it's given me some ideas :)

[@kimrichardson8376]

Hi Peter, Have you ever made a bonsai from a lavender plant? If you haven’t I’d love to see that done by you😊🇨🇦

[@acheronexile]

I love the way the camera tends to wander, observing and taking in all the sights. While some might not consider it hollywood stuff, I think its very natural and seems to draw the viewer through the 4th wall, so we are standing with the master as he tells the story.

[@shmickyshmoe]

Thanks so much for sharing the simple beauty and simplicity of Ikebana!!! Always enjoy your videos immensely!!

[@jimp4037]

Apparently, at 74 years old, I've been making Ikebana flower arrangements all my life. My favorite flower displays are one beautiful flower or stem or cutting in a pretty little bowl...who knew?

It was like u read my mind. I just started searching videos on this and there arnt many.im glad u did to expand the minds of all of us.another beautiful practice. From what i read i guess there are many techniques to this artform as well also using a kenzan in the pot to hold the plants up and forming triangles in the composition. would love to know more of this artform. Great video.

Good morning Peter. Simple and pretty. "Something within yourself will tell you whether it works or not." Sometimes it is difficult to hear that voice in bonsai. When I get blocked before so many bonsai guidelines and not being a decision to make, I call my wife and ask her: Which one would you cut? And I cut the one that she tells me. And she is amazed. Why do you listen to me if I don't know anything about bonsai?

[@peterchan3100]

When you ask someone else for an opinion (especially your wife)- you are more than likely to get the right answer. Same as in life.

[@joshhhuagarcia1890]

@@peterchan3100 Yessss, but now she passes me, looks at the tree out of the corner of her eye and says: "That tree has too many branches." Jajaja.

[@farmert9679]

What do you think of putting in the wet floral foam to hold the cuttings in the pot securely? You still have the simplicity of the design with the holding power of the foam. Foam can be cut so as to be hidden in the pot. Tall pots with narrow holes though, would not need it. Just a thought.

[@peterchan3100]

Yes - you can improvise with anything

[@LounoirRecords]

i was just about to ask if you guys could venture into ikebana designs good on you :)

[@peterchan3100]

Ikebana schools are tightly controlled - so many rules and regulations, what you can or cannot do. I am not that sort of person - I do what I like freely - they are just simple flower arrangements !

[@LounoirRecords]

@@peterchan3100 bringing the general idea to a lot of people is good enough. i kknow that there are plenty of different styles and rules for the many schools. it's still much appreciated :)

Hey Peter another website is saying that you don’t make bonsai from saplings or straight trees. This isn’t true is it?

[@peterchan3100]

Judge for yourself - who is right and who is not right.

[@kimrichardson8376]

I don’t think I worded this right. The guy of the website said that small trees can be bonsai and that straight trees should either but I’ve been watching you for a year now and I think they can be. Why do people put down the work of others?

[@kimrichardson8376]

My heavens I meant can’t be bonsai

[@MrEiht]

Words like these I better not mention. My wife might think its from the Kama Surta and demands...well you know. And I am not fast enough anymore to risk "this".

[@peterchan3100]

Nothing wrong with that. Ancient Indian work books.

[@MrEiht]

@@peterchan3100 I rather not do that work, I run. Since I am slower than a snail, the attempt alone is pathetic.

[@Poemsapennyeach]

Originally a female art form of course. Let us say it !!...the day after International Womens' Day!

[@peterchan3100]

Sadly NO because Ikebana was started by Zen priests who were men, but I respect women for what they are - the source of life !

[@Poemsapennyeach]

@@peterchan3100 I know that is the perceived version of the origins Peter...but research thru early art etc...shows it was women who originally made sparse arrangements on shallow plate like vases as gifts and decor. Lovely art form...in an event. It is the only way I have arranged flowers for years.

[@peterchan3100]

@@Poemsapennyeach Nice to know that - as I am researching this topic for future books, I would appreciate the reference please

[@Poemsapennyeach]

@@peterchan3100 I've been trying to remember where I saw the images. Could have been in the Chester Beatty in Dublin...or somewhere similar?? Women and flowers were around thousands of years before Buddhists. Before the name of Ikebana was invented. The delicacy of minimal or any flower arranging is to its core, feminine. Just as warfare is male. Monks used it for sure. It fitted in with sparing life.
