Tokyo Infiorata 2023

Do you know "Infiorata"?

This is a participatory event in which all participants create one large picture (art) using natural materials such as various petals and colored sand. Such an event was held from May 27 to May 31 in the precincts of Tsukiji Honganji. If you have taken the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, you may know that it is being held at Harumi Triton Square. Originally, it seems that it was an event that began in Italy and painted religious paintings with flowers on the approach to the church.

Design inspired by Honganji Temple and Shinran Saint, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect!

Just on May 28th, the day to celebrate the birth of Shinran Saint, was called "Soso Birthday Party", and this design was chosen. I also participated in white petals on May 27, and visited the staff in various ways.

〇 You are working according to the sketch, but in what order do you proceed?

Let's proceed from the middle part. You will not be able to go back.

〇 I'm worried that the petals will not fly, is it okay?

The petals are lined up on the water glue, and the water glue is sprayed several times from above.

〇 I'm just worried about rainy weather from next week, is there any problem with rain?

In the rain, the petals look pretty. If it's hot, you'll get rid of it.

〇 The details seem to be mixed in colors, but are there any tips to draw well with sand?

Using the edge of a paper cup, the fine parts are thin, the wide areas are spread and sand is placed at once.
