Message from Iemoto Akane Teshigahara

This year, which marks my 20th anniversary as the Iemoto, we will hold an exhibition titled “Space of Creation 2021” simultaneously at both the Sogetsu Kaikan and Sogetsu WEST, the east and west bases of the Sogetsu School.
We have designed this exhibition, hoping that you will not give up on your creative activities and continue to take on new challenges at this time of restrictions on various activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I fully expect you to create works that could be called the starting point of Sogetsu, face the space, attempt, blend, and respond all while considering the environment in which we live with the coronavirus.
I sincerely hope that this exhibition will be a place to celebrate the joy of creation.
