We have prepared two textbooks to enable beginners to enter the rich world of Ikebana. The study of Sogetsu Ikebana begins with the several styles embraced by the term kakei. Students first tackle these styles and the basic techniques, along with other related arts. When students have mastered these, they are then trained to express their own ideas freely through the materials. |
