reborn – ikebana / 再生．花
artist statement
天地與我同根 萬物與我一體適用
—— 珠寳
無緣大慈 同體大悲
—— 又一山人
這是一個禮儀，這是一個修練。
這是關於根、愛、感恩、無常、再生的故事。
誠心迴向日本，及天災受苦眾。
there is no other reason, but for her dedication of
her whole life for the belief in the equality of
love on this earth…
11 december, 2010
i was among the audience when shuho gave
a demonstration of ikebana at the HK University Art Museum.
it was about the earth, love, equality, impermanence…
the following night i had a conversation with her
at a friend’s place.
13 december, 2010
my friend abbie gave her a ride to airport and passed me
a message from shuho, she would like to do something together with me (actually i shared the same thought too)…
8 february, 2011
i sent an official invitation to shuho to be one of
my thirty guest artists and she accepted.
our dialogue began.
9 february, 2011
following the path of my find and found series inspired
by the concept of “to exist is to treasure and respect”,
i proposed to collaborate for “reborn-ikebana”,
a project where to start with withered branches and
dead flowers for her ikebana,
and me to take photographs of the process.
we agreed to do the photo shoot on 19/20 march, 2011.
20 february, 2011
i received shuho’s replies in answer to my questions
for our dialogue.
it is a letter written in ink calligraphy…
11 march, 2011
earthquake and tsunami in japan.
because of the uncertainties about the impact,
we pushed back our travel plans for 10 days.
19/27 march, 2011
we corresponded through email.
in the midst of lamenting for the nation’s sufferings,
we deeply believe that reborn-ikebana is a tribute to japan.
while friends and family in hong kong urged me
to reconsider whether to go to kyoto for this project,
my response was that – for the unwavering spirit of
the japanese, i am going.
29/30 march, 2011
we arrived at ginkakuji temple, had our tea…paid respect
to the buddha…toured the garden…settle in our peace…
the whole team gathered and the ritual master, ume
began her chant, to cleanse and send our thoughts
to the suffering people of japan.
shuho clothed herself in a pure white ceremonial gown
made by masters hagakusa toshiaki and hagakusa toshie.
shuho’s “reborn-ikebana” was developed in
seven phases from withering and dying to rebirth
and growth…
it is a cycle of life.
不為甚麼。為的是珠寳她一生專注，對大地平等的愛這信念……

電郵通訊，殤國難之餘，我們深信這“再生”是向日本致意的。
雖然香港朋友家人一再叫我三思要否出發京都做這項目，
我回應是：為日本人堅強之精神，一定出發。
11年3月29/30日
一早來到銀閣寺，喝茶……禮佛……遊花園……平靜下來……
一眾團隊圍在一起，由宇命老師開始領經：
六根清淨/ HI FUMI歌/ 神實(Kantakara) ，
作洗淨及迴向國家災難眾，
珠寳身穿一套由長艸敏明(Hagakusa Toshiaki)和
長艸純惠(Hagakusa Toshie)老師造的純白禮服開始其再生花，
七個過程由枯死到初生成長……
一個生命的循環。
