Displaying for the mother-in-law?“When teaching at a college, I asked the students, “What kind of image do you have of ”ikebana”?” and a male student answered, “It’s something you would do sitting formally on a tatami mat in front of your mother-in-law.” I was shocked!” Akane Teshigawara, 4th Iemoto to Sogetsuryu Ikebana said with laughter. |
Transition of Ikebana“The characteristic of Sogetsuryu is that it changes. Flowers change according to the arranger’s emotions. The creation is dependent on what it’s meant to express.” Teshigawara explained. |
Being Witness to the Birth of ArtAt the end, Teshigawara showed us an ”ikebana” demonstration. She made 2 pieces. The vase was one of her own creations. Her grandfather not only practiced ”ikebana”, but was also a calligrapher. Her father likewise practiced calligraphy, made his own ceramics, and was also a movie director. |
