Dialogue with flowers and bring out the individuality of the flower

Since I was in elementary school, I was helping a florist in the family business, so I naturally became familiar with the work of flower decoration.

"It is a highlight of my skills to make the most of the characteristics of plants and make originality in the combination of the types and colors of flowers." Mr. Koizumi talks determine the characteristics of each flower and devises cutting and landing methods.

Sometimes I look for flowers and trees that match your image and go to the production area to find a tree or flower by yourself.

We are working to improve and nurture the skills of younger generations at skill workshops held in various parts of the country.

In addition, we take care of florists from all over the country and teach them to develop color sense, creativity, originality, and design sense.
