Greeting from Instructor

Greeting 

After returning to Japan from studying & working in the United States, I had worked intensively in HR roles at foreign-affiliated companies for over 20 years. During that time, I discovered my “time to reclaim myself” through ikebana. When arranging flowers, I can disconnect from work and return to my true self. That sense of comfort is what led me to this world.

Now, I have established “一花 Ikka” with the desire to create “a place where busy adults can reset their minds in a safe and peaceful environment.”

For those who are constantly busy and mentally active, I hope you can enjoy a quiet, private space unique to personal lessons, where you can focus on flowers without worrying about your surroundings. Through ikebana, I would be delighted if you could find “the time to organize the clutter in your mind and calm the noise in your heart.”
Also, I love helping travelers connect with Japan’s spirit through the calm and creativity of Ikebana.
At 一花 Ikka, I hope to help people find beauty in imperfection — and calm in creation.
