What is Sogetsu?

"Anytime, anywhere, by anyone, with any kind of material."

In 1927, when everyone believed that practicing ikebana meant following established forms, Sofu Teshigahara recognized ikebana as a creative art and founded the Sogetsu School.

Anyone can enjoy Sogetsu Ikebana anytime, anywhere, using any material. You can place an arrangement at your door, living room, or kitchen table. Sogetsu Ikebana enhances a hotel lobby, a banquet room, shop windows, or even huge public spaces.

Sogetsu Ikebana suits any space and enriches its atmosphere.
