Contemporary Ikebana Flower Arranging
that unites East and West
and transforms your life in the process

 


Sangetsu combines the art of nature with the creativity of the artist.  Using flowers, branches and greens of the season, students compose arrangements using, head, heart and hand.  The result is flower arrangements that radiate beauty and healing to be shared with family, friends and community.

Our goal is to help create an ideal world where beauty is manifested in its entirety, in our daily lives.  In order to achieve this, we believe it is vitally important to raise everyone's consciousness through the  beauty of flowers. We  should  be  able  to  have  contact  with  beauty more easily, without limitations of time or expense.

What we wish to offer  as  the  best  way  for  the  spreading of  beauty  is  to encourage people  to  cultivate,  distribute and arrange flowers.   It begins  by  decorating  the  rooms  in  our  homes  and  work  places  with  flower arrangements.  Our  aim is to bring about a time  when flowers  will  be  seen  in  every place,  so wherever people go they will see and enjoy flowers.

To have even a single flower in one corner of an office or on a desk in a study would certainly  freshen the atmosphere. Ideally, flower arrangements  should  be  placed  in  all public  institutions.

If the world changes so that wherever there are people there are flowers, the negativity of today's world will be alleviated considerably.   

We invite you to make a difference in our world by walking the Sangetsu path of beauty.
 

Those who deeply love
And appreciate flowers,

Their grace, their beauty,
Have hearts which truly must be
Equally as beautiful.
