Profile
[Hanae Bunka Kyokai]
I want to create a culture of painting with flowers. It was established in October 2016 with the aim of spreading the hanae culture.
Tokyo FLOWER CARPET and Osaka FLOWER CARPET are the main sponsors of the project. In addition, the project also contributes to society by recycling used flower materials and providing art education for children with disabilities using recycled paper.
He is also actively engaged in creative activities overseas, and has been invited to international events held in various countries as a representative of Japan. Currently, a regular program "Flower's YELL" is being broadcast on Tokyo based FM station "interfm."
