I am an Ikebana Master.
My flower career started when I was 19 years old. I became a florist after graduation.
I was eager to be an expert on Floristry, so 25 years ago I knocked on the door of one of the traditional Japanese arts.
Ikebana looks very simple, but because of that, it is very difficult to express the beauty as much as possible in the limited space.
I can see my life in Ikebana.
A world spread from a main stem is like my life.
So is yours.
My lesson leads you to express your world in a tiny container.
