The Soji screen-inspired art piece reinterpreted the traditional design in a modern way, reflecting the evolution of Sogetsu ikebana.

Key Elements:
1. Split bamboo structure: Maintains the traditional essence while providing a unique texture.
2. Black paint: Adds a sleek, modern touch.
3. White paper accents: Creates a beautiful contrast, symbolizing the harmony between tradition and innovation.

Sogetsu Ikebana Philosophy:
1. Breaking away from traditions: The art piece embodies this spirit, showcasing the flexibility and creativity of Sogetsu ikebana.
2. Accessibility and inclusivity: By bringing ikebana into modern homes and outdoor spaces, you're making this traditional art form more approachable and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age.

The art piece is not only a beautiful tribute to the Soji screen but also a testament to the evolving nature of Sogetsu ikebana.

Kawana Sensei's "Organic, Inorganic" workshop at Japanese Association Singapore on 9th September 2024 was an eye-opener and a valuable experience. Most, if not all participants, received advice from an artistic point of view, which left members with a fresh approach to ikebana.

The masterclass workshop was part of Singapore Sogetsu Association's 58th Anniversary Charity Events, with the aim of raising funds for Children's Cancer Foundation.

Thank you to all members for their participation and continued support.

The art of Sogetsu Ikebana

was introduced to Singapore in 1957, by the late Mrs Kazue Kato Kim. She established the Singapore Sogetsu Association (SSA) in 1966, where she presided over as Founder-President until her passing in 2016.

Currently helmed by Mrs Pandora Ip, a Sogetsu veteran with over two decades of experience, SSA hopes to continue touching lives and effecting positive change through floral art.

In line with its founding mission of embracing compassion, beauty, and altruism in support of society’s welfare, the Association is passionate about helping those in need.

Every year, SSA organizes floral demonstrations by renowned local and international Sogetsu Ikebana masters to raise funds for local charities. Exhibitions supported by Sogetsu members are also regularly held to encourage greater public awareness of Sogetsu Ikebana, and for members to express their creativity.
