Anita Ammerlaan

Members of the Sogetsu Branch The Netherlands and Sogestu Azalea Study Group Belgium will participate in this unique Ikebana-exhibition at Gallery Anita Ammerlaan in Roosendaal(The Netherlands).

Highlight of the exhibition is the very important guest Eikou Sumura from Japan, she is a unique Ikebana artist, renowned for her use of a diverse range of natural materials beyond the usual fresh flowers and plants. Flower petals, fallen leaves and branches from roadside trees have all been featured in her acclaimed works, noted for the way they "renew life", bringing otherwise discarded or neglected plants back to life as beautiful Ikebana art for everyone to enjoy.

Her creations bring out and enhance not only the beauty but also the brilliance and essential elements of the plants she uses. She has made it her lifework to introduce people around the globe to the Japanese art of Ikebana, and has made extensive trips on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan to countries the world over.

Her permanent Ikebana installations, changed monthly, welcome you at the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya, Tokyo, and the Tokyu Capitol Tower in Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan.
