With some of our latest finds, we dive into the fascinating world of Japanese artist Sofu Teshigahara (1900-1979). Born to an ikebana teacher, Teshigahara broke with conventional rules and founded the innovative Sogetsu School of Ikebana. Producing numerous sculptures, paintings, calligraphy, and collage works, he also became a key figure in Japanese postwar avant-garde art.
