Sogetsu School

Japanese: 草月流 - そうげつりゅう

A school of ikebana. It was founded by Teshigahara Sofu (1900-1979), who played a part in the movement to seek beauty in subjective imperfection at the end of the Taisho period. He founded the school in May 1927, after breaking away from his father, Teshigahara Hisatsugu, president of the Japanese Society of Flower Arrangements. This also marked the beginning of a new style of modern flower arrangement. It was recognized at its first exhibition the following year, and was broadcast on a radio home lecture course, which became a catalyst for its development.

生け花の流派。大正末期の主観的不完全性の美を求める機運に，生け花でもその一翼をになって勅使河原蒼風 (1900～79) が創始した。父の日本生花学会会長勅使河原久次から離れて 1927年5月に創流。これは同時に新様式の現代華の発足にもあたる。翌年の第1回展で認められ，ラジオの家庭講座で放送，これが発展の契機となった。
