Higan 2007 -
from 16th March
to st April 2007 |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
Considered an
“Event within an
Event”, the
Peony House in
Bloom was
admired by all
who attended
Higan 2007. |
|
| |
|
Beginning
with an
idea
from
Jean-Marc
Windholz
and his
project
by the
architect
Paola
Trevisan,
a
typical
Japanese
house of
50 m2
was
reconstructed
for the
Higan
festival;
it
included
many
porches
and
roofs,
not to
mention
other
characteristics
of
traditional
Japanese
architecture.
The
Peony
House in
Bloom
was
divided
into |
 |
|
|
| |
two rooms,
representing day
and night.
Furnished with
antique Japanese
furniture, both
rooms had tatami
floors, shoji
and traditional
fusuma doors.
It would be
impossible to
leave out the tokonoma, the
space reserved
for collections
of precious
objects, where
for three
weekends
precious bonsai
trees and
important
calligraphy were
on display.
This domestic
space blends
with nature;
learning from it,
gathering
support from it
and bringing its
qualities into
its own
structure. One
example of this
is a garden with
a tea house that
was
reconstructed
alongside the
house; the
garden was
planned and
carried out by
the bonsai
specialist and
designer
Edoardo Rossi. |
|

 |
The
Peony
House in
Bloom
has
received
enthusiastic
reviews,
the most
important
of which
was from
the
Japanese
Consulate
General
in Italy
during a
visit to
Higan.
|
|
|
| |
Numerous TV
agencies have
filmed inside
the house, with
journalists
“leaning out” of
the house onto
the porch or
seated in the
seiza position
in daytime
space. |
|
| |
|
|
This
Japanese
house
was put
up under
375 m2 tensostructure,
constructed
specially
to
provide
the
necessary
space
for
Higan’s
project.
Here,
for
three
weekends,
there
was a
marvelous
series
of
exhibits:
a bonsai
display
courtesy
of
Nippon
Bonsai
Sakka
Kyookai
Europe (March
16-18); |
|
|
| |
a display of
Japanese art and
traditions (March
23-23); and an
exhibition of
traditional
Japanese martial
arts (March
30-April 1).
These all added
to the exciting
atmosphere of
the Peony House
in Bloom.
