Ikebana – Japanese flower art | special exhibition

Special exhibition of Ikebana Sogetsu München e.V. about the Japanese art of flower arranging.

Exhibition about the art of arranging flowers

Ikebana is a Japanese art to create an artistic arrangement from a few flowers and branches that impresses with its clarity.

Ikebana (literally “living flowers”) means to bring flowers to life and give them a new life. When the Ikebana artist takes a flower or other plant from nature and places it into a vase or dish, he or she does not only keep it alive with water, but also gives it a new life as part of a piece of art giving it a more beautiful appearance than nature gave it. Shape, size, colour and lines of the plants contribute to the harmony of an Ikebana arrangement.

Ikebana arrangements can be created

• by anyone
• at any time
• anywhere
• with any material

(Sofu Teshigahara, Gründer der Sogetsu-Schule)

Ikebana offers everyone who is interested the opportunity

• to learn design rules and techniques for arranging plants
• to develop one’s own creativity
• to find peace and relaxation by arranging plants.

Ikebana Sogetsu München e.V. is a non-profit association and offers courses for beginners:inside and advanced through local adult education centers or private Ikebana studios.
