She also demonstrates Ikebana and has been invited by the Art and Craft Center for their grand annual event at Karyaneka - Cultural and Art Center in Kuala Lumpur. The fellowship with her students and friends; getting together to share the passion in Sogetsu is a joyful time for us. “Friendship through flowers “our Ikebana Motto aptly describes this club.
"SOGETSU design has an extra charm with materials coming from the garden and arranged in simple lines in a simple vessel. Sogetsu uses only fresh flowers and has 3 main lines for its creative work.
SOGETSU encourages "go green or use recycled items” and all kinds of natural material like dried wood, branches are used as structures. Bare shrubs and bushes are a never ending source of shapes to be used. The infinity creation with flowers by Sogetsu...."
