After the demonstration…

Fan: Sensei, that was
brilliant. You must be a national treasure.

| Choreographing the climax... |
KK: No, Sogetsu is too new.
Traditional flower arranging, like ikenobu, has a long history, teachers can
become recognized as national treasures. Sogetsu? Too modern for traditional awards.
.
Fan: But it’s so creative.
.
KK: Japan prizes tradition.

Space, mass, balance are
among the keywords of flower arranging… and in the Sogetsu school too. But Sogetsu
includes other materials like metal rods, even painting the plants. Masterful
demonstration by Ken Katayama @ EGG.
