Training in the Japanese discipline of ikebana and even founding his own school to teach its principles, Teshigahara’s personal interpretation and prioritisation in his creative practise was to understand and express the inherent feeling of the materials he worked with, placing great importance on expression of three dimensions and utilising asymmetry to create tension and balance in his compositions, regardless of medium. He extended the philosophies of ikebana, transcending its applications for floral arranging into other artistic endeavours, such as sculpture, calligraphy and drawing. The present folding screen demonstrates the artist’s preoccupation with dimension and dynamic expression of form with the flexible functionality of the moveable screen, as well as his interests in calligraphy and asymmetry through the motifs selected and applied to the work.
