Thoughts of lecturer/Irony representative Atsushi Taniguchi
It has been 10 years since Jardin du I'llony became the first Japanese florist to open a branch in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
I would like to give back to my Japanese customers and fellow flower sellers by sharing the experiences and lessons I have gained in Paris, the home of flowers, where I have had the opportunity to meet many people.
With this in mind, we started this online French Florist Diploma course.
What is the essence of what is called "French style" or "Paris style" in Japan?
What is the common aesthetic sense between France and Japan, despite their different cultural backgrounds?
By understanding the roots of the culture and aesthetic sense that exist in these two countries and incorporating them into my own expression,
After 10 months, the flowers you create and you yourself will certainly change.
May your future life working with flowers be richer and brighter.
We bring you these 10 exquisite stories from Paris with all our heart.
