Organization

We were established in 1955 for the purpose of researching and promoting Ikebana, a traditional Japanese culture.
It is mainly responsible for the management and administration of the Sogetsu Teachers Federation, to which qualified personnel from Ikebana Guidance will join.
We also hold Ikebana classrooms and exhibitions in Japan and overseas.

Consisting of STA members, the Branches and Study Groups (SGs) were established globally to provide a base for members to exchange information, learn ikebana techniques, and provide local communication.
There are 120 Branches and SGs in 38 countries and regions.
