Sōgetsu-ryū

Sōfū wanted to become a painter, but he found that the possibilities for creative expression in using green materials are endless, just as in painting.

[6] Noted practitioners include Master Instructor Kōka Fukushima, whose masterclasses worldwide have received acclaim in floral art circles.

[11] Sōgetsu typically uses either a tall, narrow vase such as one made from a bamboo stem, or a flat, open dish called a "suiban" in which the flowers and branches are fixed in a hidden kenzan spiked.

However, other forms are possible, including highly elaborate creations that fill an entire hall.
