“Ikebana is an art of space, the space between branches flowers and leaves.
This space is a plentiful void projecting tension and energy.”

These words of Sofu Teshigahara, founder of the modern Sogetsu School of Ikebana, beautifully capture the essence of the art form.

From its ancient classical roots as flower offerings on Buddhist shrines to its modern abstract expressions, Ikebana’s focus is upon creating space that is at the same time both vibrant and tranquil.

Join us in-person at Nalanda West for exhibitions and guided tours of this Japanese floral design.

There will be exhibitions and guided tours of the Ikebana arrangements, highlighting the basic principles of the design and providing historical perspective on Ikebana’s evolution, and philosophical insights into the heart of the art form.

Admission is free. Donations are welcome.
