While attending the Univesity of Sacred Heart in Tokyo, Hiromi started to practice Ikebana under Kumiko Katou, who is one of the most renowned pupils of Hiroshi Teshigahara, the third president of Sogetsu IKebana School. As Kumiko Kato' assistant for 15 years, Hiromi worked on various flower settings for TV show and arrangements for exhibition projects. After Hiromi moved to London, UK, she started to work as an instructor of Sogetsu Ikebana School and taught private Ikeana lessons through word of mouth. While living in Michigan, USA, she had the opportunity to teach students from various backgrounds and age in English, and continues to teach in both English and Japanese after she moved back to Japan. 

​

Hiromi believes that Ikebana is not just a  way of arranging flowers - it is a spiritual act. It is like meditation where the flowers are placed to give power, balance, and positive energy. It is a process in which you can reflect upon yourself while expressing your creativity at the same time. Hiromi wishes to meet students of all backgrounds and age to teach and spread the beauty of Ikebana.
