Sogetsu Post Convention 2011 starts from May 5, the founding date of the Sogetsu School, of the commemorative year of Iemoto Akane's 10th year in succession. At the Sogetsu Kaikan surrounded by fresh green leaves of May, we hope you enjoy this fun learning opportunity. We recommend you to take advantage of the Sogetsu Friendly Package. The registration for each class will be closed once it reaches its maximum enrollment. We are all looking forward to your participation!
Program Contents
We will develop the best points from the last convention and, also, include the unique contents that you can experience because you are in Japan. We have various programs such as the Special Seminar by the Iemoto and the three Master Instructors, the Iemoto's 10th Year Celebration Dinner, Workshops by the Iemoto and the Master Instructors, and newly introduced Craft Workshops in which the participants can create their own art objects to take home. In addition, Good Supporters Class will be established for families and friends who are coming with Sogetsu ikebanists.
