About TEISEN (庭川）
Teisen (庭川) is the studio's Ikebana presentation, which offers weekly Sogetsu Ikebana lessons and takes Ikebana projects. Sogetsu is an avant-garde art form of flower design which blends traditional techniques and contemporary expression.
In 1927, Sofu Teshigahara recognized Ikebana as a creative art form and founded the Sogetsu School, breaking away from established forms. Today, the school is led by Akane Teshigahara, Sofu Teshigahara’s granddaughter. Sogetsu Ikebana can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere, using any material. It can adorn doorways, living rooms, kitchen tables, enhance hotel lobbies, banquet rooms, shop windows, and large public spaces, enriching any environment, whether Japanese or Western.
