Going to great lengths for a vision

Ryota Hagiwara was first fascinated by the world of flowers and discovered his passion for Ikebana when he was a promoter of the atelier 'STORY'. When he was 30, he packed his belongings and travelled around the world to seek inspiration to evolve his art. He has since started a successful career in flower arrangement and is striving to change the traditional perspective of Ikebana with his global influence.
