About Me – Miyuki Griffin
I am Japanese and a 4th Master of Ohara School of Ikebana.
I belong to Ohara School of Ikebana, England Chapter (Committee member).
I gained a certificate of intermediate floral design and art by NAFAS (Jan 2022)
I am also a flower arranger at Salisbury Cathedral

Funny enough, I started learning ikebana in UK (not in Japan!). I was lucky to learn ikebana from a Japanese student at Southampton University where I was working as a lecturer. I was a keen gardener and wanted to arrange flowers using the garden plants and flowers. I am still fascinated by the simplicity and beauty of Ikebana designs – arranging the way the plants/flowers speak to you.

I wish many people to have such enchanting experiences of connecting with the nature through Ikebana.
