Growing a Life with Plants
植物と共に育てる暮らし
About me…
My journey with plants began in a small bonsai shop in Tokyo. Since then, I’ve spent over 20 years immersed in gardening and horticulture—15 years in Japan and now 6 years in New Zealand.
Currently based in Christchurch, I work as a garden designer, botanical artist, and writer. My creative practice includes hands-on gardening, design consulting, Kokedama and Kusa Bonsai making, and exploring the quiet poetry of plants through drawing and writing.
In 2026, I plan to launch “My Garden Guide”, a personalized garden planning service that blends technology with horticultural knowledge.
