noun
Sogetsu school of flower arrangement
Proper noun referring to one of the major modern schools of ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), known for its creative and contemporary style.
母は草月流の生け花を習っています。
My mother is learning ikebana in the Sogetsu school.
池坊 is the oldest and most traditional school of ikebana, whereas 草月流 is a modern school founded in the 20th century with a freer, more avant-garde approach.
The name 草月流 combines 草 (grass), 月 (moon), and 流 (school/style). It was founded in 1927 by Teshigahara Sofu, who sought to modernize ikebana.
