Greetings

Kimie Kousui Yanagisawa     Sougetsu

Once asked about my life,I said that I live with flowers for such a long time.

Flowers are my friends who heal and love me. I always thank the presence

of flowers in my life. I hope that my flower work makes people happy and gentle. Now I can't help but keep on doing flower works.
