Bouquet - French

Japanese: ブーケ - ぶーけ(英語表記)bouquet フランス語
Bouquet - French

A bouquet of flowers. A bouquet made of fresh or artificial flowers for gifts or accessories. A bouquet-like tassel. Around 600 BC, ancient Greece designated flowers to symbolize the gods, and during festivals, a wreath made of those flowers was placed on the head of the god's statue. In the Roman era, it was often used in religious ceremonies and festivals, and colors and designs developed along with the social background from the Byzantine world to the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo eras. Bouquet styles include cascade, round, crescent, basket, parasol, fan, ball, ribbon, and ring styles. Small bouquets worn by women on the chest are called corsages to distinguish them from other styles.

花束のこと。生花や造花でつくった贈り物用あるいはアクセサリー用の花束。花束風の房飾り。紀元前600年ごろ古代ギリシアでは神々を象徴する花を定め、祭礼のときには神の像の頭上に、その花でつくった花輪の冠をのせた。ローマ時代は宗教的儀式や祭りに多く用いられ、ビザンティン世界、ルネッサンス、バロック、ロココ時代へと、社会背景とともに、色彩、デザインも発展した。ブーケのスタイルには、キャスケード(滝形)、ラウンド(丸形)、クレッセント(三日月形)、バスケット(籠(かご)形)、パラソル(日傘形)、ファン(扇形)、ボール(球形)、リボン(蝶(ちょう)結び形)、リング(輪形)スタイルなどがある。また、女性が胸につける小さいものをコサージュcorsageと称し、区別している。
