Not many know that the windows, in our traditional sense, were not in Japan. Light into the premises penetrated through the so -called “Sedzi”. These are such walls-arthrons that were made from translucent white paper. It is not entirely clear to us Europeans, because we just love to hang some curtain on the window. Without it, there is no completeness in the interior, and in the apartment – comfort. The absence of curtains psychologically gives a feeling of incompleteness.
Let’s try to decorate the windows in Japanese? It is decided! We will create a completely new robe for the window in the best traditions of Shintoism and Zen Buddhism.
This means that through the contemplation of nature you need to know yourself and the world around you. Penetrate thoughts into the essence of things, listening to the noise of the wind in the pines or admiring the first snow. Get away from the daily fuss and gain mental balance.
Japanese house and its surrounding nature are a single whole. In the early secular houses – “Seyn” the facade was often absent so that the owners of the house and their guests could enjoy the garden. Instead of the facade part, special partitions were installed, which were extended without unnecessary efforts.
But back directly to the decor of the windows. For this we need a round cornice. Yes, not simple. And so that he has one of the plugs to be ordinary, and the second acute, like a spear tip. The samurai sword with the function of the cornice would have dealt with excellent and would look very impressive, but its size, perhaps, will be small for this. After all, this spear we must still drape it with a fabric. It can be a scarf, a belt … The main thing is that this small piece of fabric is colorful and slightly harsh. In addition, around a spear he is obliged to create picturesque elastic folds. In order to make it more convenient to shoot and put on this clothing for the window, it is better to fix it on Velcro. And now the turn of the main symbols has come – Sakura branches. You will easily find them from the flower grinders. Remove the flower itself from the plastic branch and wrap it on a fishing line or long threads. You need to wind up unevenly: one flower, three flowers, five, even more and again one, and t. D. Such garlands are designed to create a feeling of flowering trees. And on the ends of the fishing line you need to tie circles and metal sticks that are in the eastern windmills.
But if you are not lucky, and you could not find the finished twigs of Sakura, do not be sad. These pink flowers can be made independently. After all, we all cut snowflakes from paper on the eve of the New Year holiday. So, we take a square of paper, fold it 4 times and cut the circuit circuit along the edge. Now we unfold, put on each other a pile of the same expanded pink circles and crush into folds in the center. Everything, the flower is ready!
Spears with spears hang and slightly shame. The backlight built into the ceiling mysteriously and romantically illuminates the new window decoration from the inside. And we are sitting opposite with a cup of green tea and contemplate the masterpiece, which we made with our own hands. But keep in mind that such clothes are suitable for the autumn-winter period, when there is no need to protect the windows from bright sunlight.
And before the summer, all this window clothes need to be removed. And after you put the plastic windows in order, we will make curtains with amber. But this is the next story.
