Shochikubai” (松竹梅) is a traditional Japanese artistic motif that combines these three plants which bring good fortune:
– Matsu (松) – Pine
– Take (竹) – Bamboo
– Ume (梅) – Plum blossom
Together, these plants are known as the “Three Friends of Winter” because they remain hardy during cold weather and symbolize perseverance and resilience.
In Japanese culture and art:
– Pine represents longevity and steadfastness as it stays green year-round
– Bamboo symbolizes flexibility and strength, as it bends but does not break
– Plum blossoms represent renewal and perseverance, as they bloom beautifully in late winter
This combination is frequently used in Japanese art, particularly in painting (sumi-e), ikebana (flower arranging), and textile designs. The term “shochikubai” appears often in traditional Japanese artwork and is considered a symbol of good fortune and nobility.
Scara will teach the students how to paint Matsu, Bamboo and Ume with her original Sumi-e brush stroke technique and will teach while wearing a kimono.
There will be a $20 fee for the brushes that she will bring from Japan for each student
