Ikebana is the art originated in Japan to compose a work by placing a flower after another second the rules and the style described by one of various artistic movements. The flowers of some works are arranged in long or very capacious vases, flowers and other works are placed and arranged on a small piece of iron with needles sticking out, which is called " Kenzan, which barely supports them to create a delicate balance, this Kenzan is placed gently in a ceramic plate as a base because it can precisely support the flowers and their weight.
held annually in November in the Mall "
Takashima-YA " in Tokyo's Nihonbashi the exhibition "Ikebana Sogetsu. " Sogetsu
" is the name of one of the main IKEBANA currents and is characterized by the union of tradition and modernity.
This year the exhibition "Ikebana Sogetsu" will take place 50-10 November. At the exhibition will be presented about two hundred works in the first 3 days, 5 to 7 November, after which, in the final three days, ie from 8 to 10 November, will be exhibited as many different works but those of the first three days. As every year the exhibition will attract many presone every day, and always there are also foreign visitors.

Even my mother is present at this exhibition with its works for several years. But is not that anyone can participate in the exhibition: in fact, only those who have already achieved, overcoming the special examinations, one of the titles (or levels) advanced from the ones defined by the current Sogetsu has the right to participate in the exhibition. Even my mother can exhibit his works because of strong experience in the art of ikebana over 40 years, has acquired one of these titles. current Sogetsu is not open or limited to only give lessons to the Japanese but also foreigners: Japanese is not known as a requirement
headquarters in Aoyama, Tokyo,
gives lessons in English
. Even foreigners who have passed the exams and have attained an advanced degree can attend the show just like all the Japanese.
In my opinion, however, for a foreigner interested in art of Ikebana (and perhaps even the current Sogetsu) is much more palatable exams scheduled after having learned the technique, style, and after you experience the composition of works not so much attending classes headquarters but instead those of a Japanese teacher, a sensei is like my mother, she holds a teaching license issued by the current Sògetu, these lessons are usually given a very affordable price. The lessons offered from home central Tokyo are very dear, indeed, prices reach figures which I dare say hyperbolic.

So this annual exhibition, thanks to the fervent commitment to artistic education to foreigners by the current Sogetsu in recent years are more and more artists' names foreigners among the exhibitors. The works also have a title and so everyone can admire a work of seeing something beautiful, something intrinsic to the work itself that another observer might not notice or do not grasp it. The smaller works more or less in width measured 50 cm while the larger ones also can measure over 10 meters and in particular the progress (in collaboration with his students) from the leader of the Sogetsu, the teacher " Akane Teshigahara.

Having visited all the exhibitions in recent years I can safely assume that the exhibition of Ikebana Sogetsu this year also will be animated by several works wonders. The ticket can be purchased at the show itself. I suggest to those who have never personally seen the work of IKEBANA made by a professional to visit this exhibition in order to admire this Japanese art. Even I can not wait to see the exhibition "
IKEBANA Sogetsu "that is coming.
