The Wasetsu Group “Dancing with Flowers” Ikebana Exhibition
The Nippon Gallery
This event has ended.
The Sogetsu School of Ikebana, established in 1927 by Sofu Teshigahara which emphasized flower arrangement as an expression of oneself. Head Master Teshigahara’s idea has been carried on by his daughter Kasumi, his son Hiroshi, and his granddaughter Akane as Head Masters of the school.
Judith Setsuko Hata, Riji rank teacher of the Sogetsu school, has been teaching Ikebana in the Sogetsu style for nearly 50 years in the Metropolitan New York area, Pennsylvania, all over the US and abroad. Students in her Wasetsu Group range from those with many years of experience to beginners. They studied basic styles with natural material (flowers and plants, then expanded to use non-organic material following the school’s philosophy that “Ikebana can be done at any time at any place with anything”). “DANCE WITH FLOWERS” will be the 10th Wasetsu Group Exhibition featuring 24 participants presenting their interpretation of the show’s title.
