立花 early style of flower arrangement Rikkwa

From "The flowers of Japan and the art of floral arrangement" (1891) by Josiah Conder

Another early style of arrangement existed, suited to bread basin-like vessels, and adapted to the employment of large
stumps of trees in divided groups. Such compositions revealed no attempt at symmetry, but resembled somewhat a
kind of miniature gardening. Heavy branched trunks of willow, pine, plum, maple, or other favorite trees were grouped with divided spaces between, and sometimes with plants or grasses, added at their base.

以下訳
もう1つの生け花の古い型は、立花である。素朴なお椀型の花器に木を複数に分けて配置する。このような構成は現在の生け花が持つような対称性に対するこだわりをもたず、どちらかというとミニチュア庭園に似ている。重々しい枝をつけた柳や松、梅や楓、その他好まれる木々が、時にほかの草花とともに空間に分けて配置される。

たて花 (心の花) Shin-no-hana Part3

From "The flowers of Japan and the art of floral arrangement" (1891) by Josiah Conder

The lines of a composition, distinguished by such terms as center, sub-center, and support, were respectively formed of branches of different growth, some of which were in full leaf or flower, and others purposely light and sparse in character. Large leaves of other plants were used at the base or connection of these various branches, to hide their bareness below, and careful attention was given to the bends and curves of these leaves so as to reveal their front and back surfaces in a well balanced contrast. Even in this comparatively early form of the art, the proportion which the floral composition held to the vessel which contained it, was fixed by rule, a practice which was followed in all later arrangements.

以下訳
たて花を構成する線は心、副中心, 支えであり、あるものが多くの葉や花であれば、他のものは淡く目立たないものであるなど、異なる要素で構成される。 大きな葉は基礎の部分や枝々をつなげる部分に使われ、むき出しの枝を隠す。また、これらの葉の曲がり方は葉の表面や裏面が丁度良いコントラストを示すように計算される。この、原始的な芸術であっても、花と花器の均整はルールによって保たれており、後の生け花に影響を与えている。

たて花 (心の花) Shin-no-hana Part2

From "The flowers of Japan and the art of floral arrangement" (1891) by Josiah Conder

An approach to symmetry was a governing feature of such compositions (tate-bana or shin-no-hana style), the designers not having yet developed that less formal kind of balance discoverable in the modern style which is more in harmony with nature and admits of endless variety of form. Branches of blossoming trees or foliage were employed in their natural state, without artificial bending or trimming, to form a vertical central mass; and other flowers or bunches of foliage were disposed on either side in balancing groups.
The idea of imparting graceful and harmonious curves to the different lines of the composition was as yet undeveloped. Unlike the later and more refined flower arrangements, this early style was remarkable for the mixture of a variety of different materials.


以下訳
たて花の特徴は対称性にある。
現在の生け花のように、格式ばらず、自然との調和を無限の形で表現するようなものには至っていない。中央の花木の枝や葉は自然の状態のまま、曲げたり切ったりせずに使用され、直立する塊となり、その他の花や枝葉は均衡を保つために左右に配置される傾向にある。

現在の生け花に見られるような、優しい、調和した曲線を複数の直線に取り入れる方法はまだ見られない。その後に洗練されてきた他のいけばな技法と違い、この古典的たて花では多様な要素が混合している。

たて花 (心の花) Shin-no-hana Part1

From "The flowers of Japan and the art of floral arrangement" (1891) by Josiah Conder

Japanese historians claim for it an Indian and religious origin. The same Buddhist doctrine which deprecated the wanton sacrifice of animal life is said to have suggested the gathering of flowers, liable to rapid destruction in a tropical climate, and prolonging their life by careful preservation. The survival of such a theory would seem to show that some form of the art was first introduced into this country with the adoption of the Buddhist faith, both as a part of its ritual (flowers being placed before the Buddhist spirits), and also as forming a pious pastime for the priests. The religion of Buddha, as is well known, reached Japan through China in the six century, and certain Chinese priests are referred to as the first teachers of the art of arranging flowers in Japan. It also appears that the earliest native practitioners in this country were famous priests, amongst whom Shotoku Taishi and Meikei Shonin are particularly mentioned.

These primitive flower compositions were, however, of a more accidental and, at the same time, of a more extravagant character than those of the art as it became afterwards modified and developed. They partook more of the nature of a Western bunch or nosegay, being crowded in arrangement and miscellaneous in substance, and without the severe conventionality of later methods. The style of composition adopted still survives under the name of Shin-no-hana, meaning Central Flower Arrangement, and is used for flowers placed as religious ornaments or offerings before shrines and tombs.

Note: I think this type is not referred as "shin-no-hana" but as "tate-bana" in these days.

以下訳 
日本の歴史家は生け花の起源はインドにあるとみている。無用な殺生を禁じる仏教の教義と同じく、生け花では花を摘んでも、暖かい気候によってすぐ腐るので、慎重に保存して生きながらえさせるべきだと考えられているのだ。このような約束事が今に残っているのは、この芸術がまず仏教の教義とともに伝えられ、宗教儀式(仏の前に花を捧げる行為)や、過去の偉大な僧侶への信心深さが今まで続いて来たからだろう。仏教はよく知られているように6世紀頃中国から日本へと渡って来た。そして中国の僧侶が日本に生け花を伝えたと言われている。初期の日本の生け花の実践者として聖徳太子や明恵上人などの僧侶がよく知られる。

このような原始的な生け花は、より偶発的で、現在改良発展してきたような形よりもおおげさなものであった。それらは西洋の花束以上に混雑していて様々な材料があり、現在の様な厳しいきまりもない。この形式は未だ"心の花"-中心の生け花-として残っており、宗教的な装飾や神社,墓所などで使用される。

訳注: 検索しても心の花というのは出てこなかったが、代わりにたて花という原始的な型があるそうで、これは中心に心(しん)と呼ばれる枝を直立させ、その下に枝を添える様式だそうです。
