The event we are proposing on the occasion of Rome Art Week is a display of 12 vases created by as many potters in which plant and non-plant materials are arranged according to Sogetsu ikebana art.
The Sogetsu School was founded by Sofu Teshigahara in 1927, with the aim of freeing ikebana from the constraints of tradition, with its rigid and repetitive styles, bringing it into the world and making it a contemporary art form that reflects the artist's personality and style.
