	Ikebana - Bloemschikken in Japan
		Ikebana is ontstaan uit vroege boeddhistische offers, en groeide in de vijftiende eeuw uit tot een kunstvorm met vele stijlen en scholen.
		De basis van Sogetsu is dat iedereen op elk ogenblik en elke plaats ikebana kan doen met om het even wat materiaal er voor handen is. Dit betekent dat diegene die ikebana beoefent creatief moet omspringen met materiaal.
		Het betekent dat ikebana niet alleen maar herhalen is van vooraf bepaalde bloemstukken.

		Ikebana is a kind of sculptural art with the material ”plant” and in its modern form also with dead material.
		Ikebana is shaped by forming free space, which needs to stay visible and perceivable.
		Initially an Ikebana arrangement served only at the altar to worship and adore the godness, later as an accent in the simple quietness of the tearoom or as addition to a role painting in the tokonoma of the Japanese house.
