2023, October 14-15: Annual Exhibition - Words of Autumn

This theme was inspired by an ikebana arrangement by Kasumi Teshigahara, second headmaster of the Sogetsu School.  Autumn is a time of transition: the changing colour of leaves, the exuberance of tall grasses and the development of seed pods from flowers to seed pods.
