Introduction
An ikebana artist inheriting the traditions of Koryu, a school of ikebana dating back to the Edo period. Currently serves as Vice Headmaster of Koryu Kawa-kai and Executive Director of the Japan Ikebana Federation.
His practice spans a wide range, from classical seika arrangements rooted in traditional techniques to contemporary creative works, large-scale spatial installations, and live performances.
Particularly known for his innovative sōsōka (creative ikebana), he combines flowers with diverse everyday objects to produce unique works that offer viewers fresh perspectives. His creations, shared widely through social media, have drawn attention both in Japan and abroad. By intertwining the visual power of flowers with layered narratives, he seeks to convey new dimensions of traditional culture.
