About me
Presentation
The people and plants you meet in your new land. As someone who often moves around the world, I am inspired by the many encounters I have had, and am working hard every day as a Sogetsu style flower arranger with the philosophy of `anytime, anywhere, anyone.’ After working in Korea, Japan, France, and Belgium, I study under Reiko Takenaka. Currently, hold classes and study groups on ikebana as an art form of self-expression, mainly in Hong Kong. I also arrange flowers for events and galleries and also continue to hold classes once a month in Ginza, Tokyo. I give lessons in Japanese, English, and French. Master teacher of Sogetsu School , Assistant teacher at Sogetsu Headquarters.
Signature
A few years ago, I had a chance to meet Cecile Franconi, a decorative embroiderer. When I saw the beautiful symphony of colors and infinite possibilities that she creates, I wanted to try to express the collaboration between plants and embroidery. I can’t embroider on fabric, but maybe I can do it on plants. In 2018, I started embroidering on traveler’s tree, and in 2019, I will start embroidering on Rhododendron. I hope to continue to enjoy new encounters with plants and embroidery.
