SOGETSU is one of many schools of IKEBANA. Ikebana is the art of Japanese Flower Arranging. Ikebana is one of the fundamental traditional arts of Japan.
The Sogetsu School practices ikebana for contemporary times. Sogetsu does not imitate nature, it encourages students to use lines, hues, and masses provided by nature to express their own interpretation.
The Washington DC Metropolitan Area Branch invites you to look at the art of Sogetsu Ikebana and to share in our activities relating to the art. The Branch presents exhibitions, demonstrations and programs on a regular basis throughout the year.
Where Art Dances with Nature
May 20, 2020
The Washington DC Metropolitan Area Sogetsu Branch partners with the Art League at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia for a biannual exhibition. Each ikebanist selects an art piece created by an Art League member and creates an arrangement that represents the art work. This year due to the quarantine status in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, the 18th exhibition was completed digitally with materials we had in our homes. Enjoy!
