ŸAkane Teshigahara
Ikebana is a reflection of the person who arranges the flowers
It is like a mirror to show who you really are
This summer, installation held in Glass Building made a huge sensation. This exhibition represented a birth of new Tokyo International Forum for its demutualization, and the universe. During Monday 7th July through Saturday 19th July, this illusion-like space created by the bamboos and the lightings caught many visitors' attention. The executive producer of this event was Akane Teshigahara, the fourth headmaster of Sogetsu-Ryu. In this edition, we ask her what lies behind the concept of her work, and thoughts for challenging new fields of her creative work.
