A "Taisaku" is a large scale, focal arrangement. It can be created for an exhibition, event or installation in public or private spaces. Master Instructor Misei Ishikawa designed this stunning Bamboo Taisaku arrangement for our 50th Anniversary celebration.
This video chronicles all the stages of our journey, beginning with the selection and cutting of the bamboo, then the meticulous planning and sketching of the design by Ishikawa Sensei, leading up to the final assembly of our structure at the site. https://youtu.be/tZMpuLllkJY |
