Amazing by itself, but wouldn’t this be fabulous as part of an ikebana installation? Taormina, Sicily, Italy.

Today’s theme of the Sogetsu headquarters was “Sogetsu and its Charm”. Nakada Sensei reviewed Sogetsu’s history and then her outlook on Sogetsu ikebana and reminded us that we must always take into consideration the PLACEMENT of the arrangement. I was very fortunate that I selected #1 out of the lottery for arrangement location. The spot was on the floor in front of the bust of Sofu Teshigahara, the founder of Sogetsu School. It was very intimidating. I want to create a tall arrangement to show how Sogetsu will grow in the years to come.

The lesson today was to use only one material. I received two tall stocks of okra. Since I couldn’t just place two stocks into the container, I cut pieces of the okra and pinned them back onto the stalk in various ways to give it more volume.
