Masao Mizukami - senior adviser at Masao Flower Design - sees flower arranging as similar to painting and sculpting, and he teaches the skill with an environmental twist
I am from Tokyo, Japan. I came to Hong Kong in 1999. A year later I started my floristry school teaching flower arranging. I have been in the floral business since 1980 in Japan, but I was a painter before that. I studied oil painting at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and furthered my study at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the same discipline .
