A moment to connect with flowers and center your mind

Shoan Corp offers ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) lessons in Hawaii, allowing participants to experience Japan’s traditional culture firsthand.

Shoan Corp CEO Terumi Maeda, a certified instructor of the Ikebana Ikenobo school, leads these cultural education programs in Hawaii. Through in-office ikebana lessons, she conveys the richness of Japanese aesthetics and tradition, creating a space where participants can cultivate creativity and inner balance.

 

Key Features of Our Services

• Experience Traditional Culture: Learn Japanese aesthetics and philosophy through the art of ikebana.
• Practical, Mindful Learning: Time spent arranging flowers sharpens your sensibilities and nurtures mental well-being.
• International Perspective in Hawaii: Share Japanese culture with people from diverse backgrounds in a unique, multicultural setting.

Spending time with flowers in a calm, focused environment offers participants a special experience away from the routines of daily life. Popular not only as a cultural experience but also as a hobby or lifestyle practice, these lessons enrich both personal growth and everyday living.

Our mission is to share the beauty of Japanese culture with the world, creating opportunities for more people to experience its value. Through ikebana-centered cultural education, we aim to bring aesthetic sensibility and color to everyday life.
