Profile

Shoan is a registered Sogetsu Teacher who is accredited with the Sogetsu Teacher’s Diploma in 2010 and now holds a Second grade Sanyo. She runs regular classes teaching the Sogetsu Ikebana style. With a background in architecture, she has ikebana training under the guidance of Shoso Shimbo since 2005.

She has partaken in various public exhibitions and competitions, with works display regularly at different premises.
Her ikebana mask has recently won the first prize for the Mask Making Challenge of the 2020 Royal Melbourne Show.


She is currently the Associate Director of the Ikebana Gallery Award Committee and a facilitator of the Ikebana Dojo.
