Exposition Sofu Teshigahara. Musée Galliera, Paris, 1971, 32pp. In Ikebana, Sofu Teshigahara ? the founder of the S?getsu School of Ikebana ? presents a revolutionary approach to the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. Published in 1962, the book emphasizes creativity, freedom of expression, and individuality in contrast to the rigid formalism that characterized earlier styles. Teshigahara redefines Ikebana not merely as floral decoration, but as a dynamic form of artistic expression capable of engaging with modern sensibilities. He encourages the use of unconventional materials, including metal, driftwood, and even industrial objects, alongside natural elements like flowers and branches. Throughout the book, Teshigahara stresses that the heart and personality of the artist must be visible in every arrangement. Illustrated with photographs and examples of his innovative work, Ikebana offers both philosophical reflections and practical insights, aiming to inspire practitioners to move beyond established norms. Teshigahara?s vision ultimately expanded the possibilities of Ikebana, making it a living, evolving art form accessible to everyone, regardless of tradition or background.
