Yijung Kim | Florist

Hello. I have been practicing Ohararyu Ikebana since 2016 and started my own flower studio in 2019. I am a member of Ohararyu Seoul chapter.

I have a background in UX design and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn,NY. This background guided me into working with different materials and methods. As I started learning Ikebana, I found it remarkable how Ohara school developed and utilizes tools and different methods to present the nature in the most subtle way. There are always more to learn in Ikebana and that’s how I fell in love with teaching and presenting Ikebana to others.

With close relationship with Ohara school headquarter in Tokyo, Tane Flower participated in numerous Ikebana workshops and events held in Japan. It is important to keep up with new techniques and designs as Ohara masters in headquarter continuously research and develop curriculum and methods.
