Sogetsu Ikebana Curriculam
The Sogetsu curriculum provides a structured yet flexible path of study, progressing from fundamental forms to more creative expression.
​
Each textbook builds technical understanding, compositional awareness, and confidence in working with natural materials.
​
As students progress, they are encouraged to develop their own interpretation within the Sogetsu philosophy of “not a copy of nature, but a personal expression through it.”
​
Upon completion of each textbook, Students will be assisted with applications for the internationally recognised Sogetsu certificate and guide students towards teaching qualification.
​
In addition to holding the Riji qualification, Hiroko Prado undertook an intensive three-month study at the Sogetsu Headquarters in Tokyo in 2025, supported by the prestigious Norman & Mary Sparnon Foundation scholarship.
This experience provides her with a direct understanding of the teaching approach at the headquarters, offering students a foundation closely aligned with Sogetsu’s core methodology.
