일본 전통문화의 정수, 다도와 꽃길

안녕하세요, 시사일본어사 기자단 28기 임지우입니다. 여러분은 일본의 전통 문화를 체험해 본 적이 있습니까? 전통이라는 용어를 한마디로 정의하기는 어렵지만, 한 나라에서 만들어진, 세대를 넘어 오랜 시간 지속되어 사회 구성원에게 계승되는 것으로 볼 수 있다고 생각합니다. 일본의 전통 문화라고 하면 다도와 기모노, 가부키 등 다양한 문화가 떠오를 거라고 생각합니다만. 그 중에서도 다도, 꽃꽂이, 서예는 일본 전통 예술의 가장 고전적인 형태라고 할 수 있습니다. 이 세 가지를 일본어로 ‘천도삼도’, 즉 ‘전통삼도’라고 부릅니다. 이번 기사에서는 이 중 다도와 꽃꽂이에 대해 좀 더 자세히 알아보려고 합니다. 다도 안녕하세요, 시사일본어사 기자단 28기 임지우입니다. 여러분은 일본의 전통 문화를 체험해 본 적이 있습니까? 전통이라는 용어를 한마디로 정의하기는 어렵지만, 한 나라에서 만들어진, 세대를 넘어 오랜 시간 지속되어 사회 구성원에게 계승되는 것으로 볼 수 있다고 생각합니다. 일본의 전통 문화라고 하면 다도와 기모노, 가부키 등 다양한 문화가 떠오를 거라고 생각합니다만. 그 중에서도 다도, 꽃꽂이, 서예는 일본 전통 예술의 가장 고전적인 형태라고 할 수 있습니다. 이 세 가지를 일본어로 ‘천도삼도’, 즉 ‘전통삼도’라고 부릅니다. 이번 기사에서는 이 중 다도와 꽃꽂이에 대해 좀 더 자세히 알아보려고 합니다. 다도

Tea ceremony is called Sado or Chado in Japanese. The act of boiling water and entertaining tea is stylized and used as a form of etiquette. Generally speaking, Japanese tea ceremony refers to the use of powdered matcha (green tea), but it also includes a train (sencha) in which tea leaves are put in a tea bowl and boiled in hot water. During the Heian period, Chinese tea drinking methods and manufacturing methods were introduced to Japan through a envoy to Tang Dynasty China. It is said that in the early days, monks mainly used to boil and drink lump-shaped tea, such as medicine, little by little. In the Kamakura period, monk Eisai brought tea with Zen sects and planted it in Kyushu, and planted the seeds in the Uji area of Kyoto, which led to the origin of Uji tea. After that, as the cultivation of tea became popular, the custom of drinking tea spread, and it was gradually introduced to the samurai class. In the Muromachi period, a kind of gambling called “tucha” became popular to guess the brand of tea to drink. Among daimyo, tea parties, a gathering for collecting Chinese tea utensils and drinking tea, were also popular. Later, Murata Shumitsu created a Wabisha that emphasized spiritual exchange between master and guest, which was completed by Sen no Rikyu during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Until the early Edo period, tea drinking classes were limited to daimyo and wealthy merchants, but after the middle of the Edo period, the number of people drinking tea rapidly increased with the economic accumulation of urban residents, the upper class.

Kado is also called Ikebana, Sabashina, or Sabashina. It is an art of cutting various plants such as flowers, grasses, leaves, and branches and putting them in flower arrangement bowls to appreciate them. It is a traditional culture that values etiquette like the tea ceremony, and there are various schools, and each school has its own style and technique. There are various theories about the origin of the Japanese style of flower arrangement, but it is generally said that it was established through specialization with Ikebo Senkei, a monk of Johoji Temple in Kyoto who existed in the middle of Muromachi. After the middle of the Edo period, through the Iemoto system (a traditional Japanese system that teaches and inherits the original art and art), the flower arrangement spread from the exclusive property of samurai and upper class to the knowledge of the common people. From the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period, it was introduced to Europe by British architect Josiah Condor, along with Japanism, which greatly influenced the European art world. Ikebata’s style depends on the school, but I would like to introduce three styles in this article. Kado is also called Ikebana, Sabashina, or Sabashina.

The first is Tachibana. It is also called Tachibana. It is arranged with flowers in a flower arrangement bowl, and it is the oldest style created during the Muromachi period for the decoration of Seowon architecture. Tachibana is one of the basic styles of Ikebana and is often used to decorate tokonoma (a place where the floor of the tokonoma Japanese-style room is raised further and the walls are hung and flowers and decorations are displayed on the floor). It is a style that emphasizes proportionality, balance, and harmony and pursues the reproduction of natural scenery. The first is Tachibana. It is also called Tachibana.

The second one is Moribana. Moribana, a style created under the influence of naturalism in the late 19th century, harmonizes the appearance of nature by using needle sticks in a wide-mouthed container, such as a shallow basin or basket. It looks like Jiyukawa in that Western food is not decided yet, and you can put it on a Western-style table because you sometimes use Western flowers. The second one is Moribana.

The third is free flower, also known as free flower. It is a style created in modern times, and it is a way of expressing freely regardless of the stereotyped traditional style. I heard that Moribana is included in this style in some cases because it is often performed on stage and at events. In order to emphasize the sensibility of the producer, Western flowers, which are rarely used in traditional art, are sometimes used. The third is free flower, also known as free flower.
