Those who wish to explore the spirit of Japanese culture

Step into the world of wa—Japan’s philosophy of beauty and “ma” (space). While working with seasonal flowers, you will experience moments of stillness and mindfulness.

Those seeking authentic, hands-on experiences

Under the direct guidance of a highest-ranking Sogetsu master, you will work with carefully prepared flowers and tools. See, touch, and feel the refined sensibility and artistry Japan is known for.

Those looking for a special memory

Your arrangement, shaped by your own sensibility, is a one-of-a-kind creation. Take home not just your work, but also a unique memory of your journey.

What is Ikebana?

Ikebana is not simply flower arrangement.
It is a form of Japanese art rooted in a unique aesthetic that values space, line, and asymmetrical harmony.
By facing nature with a calm mind and placing meaning in every stem and leaf, Ikebana becomes a philosophy of life itself.

In this workshop, guided by a senior master of the Sogetsu School, you will learn the principles of form and beauty while creating your own expression through flowers.

Highlights of the Workshop

🔸Experience the sensibility of a master

Witness a live demonstration by a highest-ranking Sogetsu master—an invaluable opportunity to encounter one of Japan’s finest expressions of beauty.

🔸Express yourself through flowers

Using seasonal plants, freely shape your own emotions and individuality into an arrangement. Each participant creates a one-of-a-kind work, even with the same materials.

🔸Take home your tools and continue abroad

Due to airline restrictions and travel schedules, flowers may not be carried internationally. However, you will take home a ceramic vase, a kenzan (needle holder), and special scissors. This allows you to continue practicing Ikebana at home with local flowers.
