Sogetsu Ikebana Workshop - 2017


A big event is holding here now. It's a Japanese and Russian Culture Festival. 

The one of the Festival activities is the Sogetsu Ikebana workshop by the japanese teachers, Takako Nishimura-sensei and her team from Hokkaido. Few years ago our local Ikebana group became a Studio Group officially recognized by Mrs.Akane Teshigahara and Sogetsu School in Tokyo. So each year we are visited and cared by our teachers from Japan.

These last days in June made a wonderful meeting with the flowers and art. Inspite of my ability to attend only 2 of 4 lessons, I got a real pleasure to study. We learned how to create a vase for the floral arrangements by weaving a sphere vase with thin rotang.

Ikebana workshop was held in Chekhov Museum. The hall with a photo exhibition was turned to the classroom.
The photos on the wall are by japanese artists sharing their vision of the Russian land.

It can change the form to oval or whatever when sinked in water and pressed for a while
