the japan foundation furoshiki workshop
The use of furoshiki in Japan dates back centuries. Originally used to wrap the clothes of the nobility, the wrapping cloth was known as hira zutsumi. When public baths became popular, people used the wrapping cloth to carry clothes to and from the bathhouses, and the wrap came to be known as furoshiki: literally translated as “bath spread.” During the Edo period (1603-1868), the furoshiki gained popularity among the rising merchant class, who exploited its potential for carrying goods.
Some of the patterns have meaning and some are not. Among those are popular pattern, such as shouchikubai (pine-bamboo-plum), koi mo takinobori (koi's waterfall climbing) and karakusa (tangled vines).

THE JAPAN FOUNDATION IKEBANA (ICHIYO) EXHIBITION
The Japan Foundation Jakarta was again proud to hold the Ikebana (Ichiyo) exhibition on October 2-3, 2014. Ikebana, known as the Japanese art of
flower arrangement, literally means “the living flower”. Ikebana
has certain rules governing its form. The structure of Ikebana is
based on three main points considered to symbolise heaven, earth and
man. Others is sun, moon and earth.
When practicing Ikebana, silence is a must to appreciate things in nature as oppose to people's busy lives. Practicing Ikebana provides relaxation for the mind, body and soul. There are various styles of Ikebana, such as Ikenobo, Kuge, Jiyuuka, Reika, Ichiyo and so on.
Arrangement in the manner of Ichiyo is intended to arise our senses in a new and different way from traditional ikebana. An unexpected and profound experience to stimulate the viewer's interpretation.
