Studio Seren marks the beginning of our Spring–Summer ikebana gatherings, a slower morning of flowers, seasonality, and reflection shared together.

An invitation to share with yourself, or a loved one…

I’m often asked why I’m so drawn to the 立花• Rikka style of Ikebana. For me, it’s about more than just flowers - it’s about perspective.

A Miniature World: Rikka/ Tachibana (meaning ”standing flowers“) isn‘t just an arrangement; it’s a complete landscape.…
