Just Flowers Detail
Born in Tokyo, he first learned flower arranging from his father who had studied many styles of the different schools. In 1926, at the age of 25, he started the Sogetsu School of Ikebana, believing that Ikebana is not merely decorating with flowers, it is an art, and that the great difference between the Sogetsu School and Ikebana lies in the belief that once all the rules are learned and the techniques mastered, there is an unbounded field for freer personal expression using varied materials, not just flowers.
The French government awarded him the Order of Arts and Letters in 1960, and the Legion of Honor in 1961; and Japan bestowed the Minister of Education Awards for Art in 1962.
Sofu never deviated from the basic principles that distinguish Ikebana from other forms of floral art: to grasp and express the feeling of the material, to express the third dimension and asymmetrical balance.
