Dialogue with flowers to bring out the individuality of flowers
Since I was in elementary school, I had been helping a flower shop in my family business, so I was naturally familiar with flower decoration work.
"The highlight of my arm is to make use of the characteristics of the plants and give originality to the combination of the types and colors of the flowers." Koizumi says, "I am delighted to be able to draw out the individuality of the flowers while interacting with the flowers." He identifies the characteristics of each flower and devises cutting and landing methods.
Sometimes, I sometimes look for flowers and trees that fit my image and go to the production area to find trees and flowers for myself.
We are working to improve and develop younger skills at skill workshops for organizations held all over the country.
In addition, we take care of the traces of florists from all over the country and instruct them to develop a sense of color, creativity, originality, and design.
