In celebration of the launch of ‘Botanical Rainbow’, LOEWE’s fragrance collection, Iemoto Akane’s works and the first Iemoto Sofu’s sculptures were exhibited at CASA LOEWE Tokyo. The photo of Iemoto Akane’s unique work arranged in LOEWE’s bag is sure to attract a lot of interest.

The Sogetsu Art Center was founded in 1958 by the third Iemoto Teshigahara Hiroshi who became the director of this institution with the intention to promote artistic exchange.As the epicenter of avant-garde art,it was a place where artists dreamed to perform. Avant-garde artists who gathered in the Sogetsu Art Center, used to produce very original and modern posters for each event. This time eight Ikebanists produced works co- ordinated with those eight avant-garde posters.

A festive arrangement to celebrate the New Year.By adding Mizuhiki (paper strings), you can make it look much more magnificent.This New Year, why don’t you try creating your ikebana using Mizuhiki? ‘More Ikebana⑧ “Mizuhiki”’, a report on the visit to Shimo-ina- iida in Nagano prefecture, one of the best Mizuhiki-producing districts in Japan, will arouse your interest in this exquisite art of those decorative strings.
