20代でいけばなと出会い、33歳で池坊を脱退、流派を離れて38歳で上京。あらゆる組織、流派に属さず、弟子をとらず、ひとりで作家活動を行ない、前衛的・革新的な作品を生み続けた。花の本質を追求し、従来の概念を破る表現、その特異な作品は、国の内外で高い評価を得ている。
Nakagawa encountered Ikebana throughhis aunt (master of Ikebana, Ikenobo School) and in 1942 he became a pupil of his aunt. However, after some consideration towards traditional Ikebana,he left Ikenobo School and became independent in 1951. After the war, he began thehistorically significant Ikebana movement, the so-called “avant-garde Ikebanamovement” together with Houn Ohara and Sofu Teshigahara, which deviated fromconventional practices of Ikebana beyond their differences in schools. Whilebeing trained in Ikebana, Nakagawa was not limited to traditionalflower arrangement arts but made his own unique works, usingflowers, fruits, vegetables, potteries, antiques, Japanese papers and natural stones. Inaddition to flower works, his works included glass objects, painting,calligraphy, and performance arts collaborating with contemporary dancer KazuoONO. He also learned photography from Ken DOMON and took photographs of hisworks by himself.

Sofu Teshigahara [1900-1979]
Sofu Teshigahara is a Japanese avant-garde artist whose philosophy transformed the post-war art scenein Japan.
As the first son of an ikebanaartist Wafu Teshigahara, Sofu started to take lessons in Ikebana fromchildhood.
His outstanding talent became soon apparent, however, he began toquestion the traditions of Ikebana.
Eventually, he broke away from his fatherto found Sogetsu School of Ikebana.
After the war,he came to lead the “avant-garde Ikebana movement” together with Houn Ohara andYukio Nakagawa, which deviated from conventional practices of Ikebana.
Through the course of his explorations in this philosophy, hecreated sculptures, paintings as well as calligraphy in addition to flowerworks.
