Welcome
Welcome to Sogetsu San Francisco Bay Area Branch. Since 1973, we have presented the art of Sogetsu Ikebana to our community and countless visitors. Through the Branch’s programs, we hone our members’ artistic skills, ever mindful of the words of Sogetsu’s founder, Sofu Teshigahara (1900 – 1979), that “Ikebana is a formative art” which stresses individual creativity. Through our biennial flower shows, we present the many varied styles of Sogetsu Ikebana.
COME JOIN US FOR OUR 39TH NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
A special treat is in store for you at our New Year Celebration which will be held at Yoshi's Restuarant in San Francisco. A special menu has been prepared for us by Chef Sho Kamio. We be entertained by famed Koto player Shirely Muramoto and her son Brian Wong. And we will have a raffle with some very exciting prizes. Please click here for details.
Please look through the website’s Gallery. The work of many members can be seen here. Also, the Calendar of Events lists future events, as well as past programs. We invite you to read about the history of both Ikebana in general and its contemporary realization as Sogetsu Ikebana. Information about joining a class in Sogetsu Ikebana is available, as well as how to join the Branch.
