IKEBANA
“Ikebana is not just about flowers, it is also about the person who arranges them.”
— Sofu Teshigahara, Founder, Sogetsu School of Ikebana
Ikebana, meaning “making flowers come alive,” is Japan’s ancient art of flower arranging. Using natural materials, it conveys emotion and creates connection, much like any great art form.
I practice and instruct, as well as exhibit and create bespoke Sogetsu ikebana in Orange County, CA. Sogetsu is a modern school of ikebana that celebrates creativity and self-expression. Guided by the motto “Anytime, anywhere, by anyone,” it inspires individuals to create arrangements that are innovative, personal, and timeless.
