Ikebana Artist
Ikebana Ryusei-ha
Grand Master Instructor / Contemporary Floral Artist
Born in 1991 in Sapporo, Hokkaido JAPAN.
Growing up where expansive nature and urban structures coexist, I became interested in the subtle beauty that emerges at the boundary between the natural and the artificial.
With a background in photography, sculpture, and fashion, I approach Ikebana as a visual and spatial language that moves across disciplines.
Since 2025, I have been directing Oraqua, my Ikebana studio based in Tokyo.
