"What's SOGETSU?" – Toward the 100th Anniversary

The Sogetsu School of Ikebana will mark its 100th anniversary in 2027.
As we approach this memorable milestone, in order for the Sogetsu School to become more lively, creative, and attractive than ever before, we will implement diverse initiatives under the theme of What’s Sogetsu?
Let’s take a look at what Sogetsu is all about from various angles, including the history of Sogetsu since its foundation, the philosophy that has shaped Sogetsu, and the curriculum that forms the basis of our creative activities.

This time, we present the “Duo Exhibition” by Hiroshi Teshigahara and Isamu Noguchi, whose 120th birth anniversary would have been this year. You have a rare chance to witness the preparation scenes where both artists collaborated to create the space. The exhibition, featuring 147 ceramic works by Hiroshi and 61 pieces of “Akari” which are light sculptures by Noguchi, is truly breathtaking. Don’t miss it!
