Throwing Flowers - Throwing Flowers

Japanese: 抛入花伝書 - なげいればなでんしょ

This is an enlightening book about hōirebana in Ikebana. It was published in 1684 (Jokyo 1). It consists of three volumes, each with a table of contents at the beginning. There is a theory that the author was Juuichiya Taemon, but there is no definite proof, and it is certain that he was a Tachibana master. The first volume describes the origin and characteristics of hōirebana. There are two theories about hōirebana: one is that it originated from flowers used in the tea ceremony, and the other is that it is a simplified version of Tachibana (Ritsuka). The author, a Tachibana master, supports the latter theory. The middle volume explains the relationship between vases and hōirebana, and the third volume focuses on how to raise flowers in water, listing the names of flowers, and contains descriptions that read like a dictionary of flower materials.

Japanese:

いけばなのなかの抛入の啓蒙書。1684年(貞享1)刊。3巻本で，各巻ともはじめに目次がついている。著者は十一屋太右衛門（じゆういちやたえもん）という説もあるが確証なはく，ただ立花師ということはたしかである。上巻は抛入花の起源と特色について述べる。抛入花は茶の湯の花から始まったという説と立花（りつか）を簡略にしたものという二つの説があるが，立花師である著者は後者の説をとっている。中巻は花入と抛入花との関係，下巻は花の水揚げ法を中心に，花名をあげて説明してあり，さながら花材辞典のような記述がある。
