The Sogetsu School of Ikebana (President and 4th Headmaster: Akane Teshigahara) is pleased to announce the Sogetsu Ikebana Exhibition 'Flower Rondo,' bringing color to the early summer season.

As the two-year commemorative project leading up to the 100th anniversary of the school's founding continues, we are pleased to host this exhibition organized by the headquarters, following numerous branch exhibitions held across the country. This exhibition focuses on 'suspended and wall-mounted works' that create a sense of fluctuation in space, alongside traditional freestyle arrangements. Visitors will experience a vibrant display of works that break through conventional boundaries, reflecting the individual 'self' and 'new challenges' of each creator.

Message from Headmaster Akane Teshigahara Looking towards our 2027 centennial, the early summer Ikebana exhibition and music series, which began in 2022, now enters its fifth iteration, with the goal in sight. This exhibition will feature light-hearted, exhilarating works. The Conversation Room venue is a challenging but charming space where natural light and surrounding greenery blend in. It is here that one-of-a-kind flowers, which shine precisely because of this unique environment, will emerge.

Highlights 1) Large-scale Bamboo Installation by the Headmaster An impressive bamboo installation will welcome visitors at the main entrance. 2) 'Sound of Fluctuation' by Instructors (Suspended & Wall Works) Building on the philosophy of free expression, this exhibition challenges the limits of ikebana by incorporating suspended and wall-mounted pieces that transform spatial perception.
