The Sōgetsu School of Ikebana is a prominent style of Japanese flower arrangement founded by Sōgetsu Ikenobo in 1927. This school emphasizes creativity and personal expression, allowing practitioners to use a variety of materials beyond traditional flowers, such as branches, leaves, and even non-plant elements. Sōgetsu's philosophy encourages students to explore their artistic vision while maintaining a connection to nature. The school offers classes and workshops worldwide, promoting the art of Ikebana as a means of self-expression and mindfulness. Its influence can be seen in contemporary floral design, blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics.
