In order for Japanese people to learn floral designs, the best way is, we believe, to take lessons of floral arrangement in Japan because there are lots of instructors and schools of European floral design and also Japanese Ikebana arrangement. However we find many Japanese women who want to learn floral arrangement in a foreign country.
Although they can earn good skill by staying in Japan and taking lessons from a well experienced flower arrangement instructor, some people are keenly interested in learning abroad. Among various candidates as a country to visit, following countries are quite popular:
1. England
2. Netherlands
3. France
4. Germany
Unfortunately we seldom find Japanese ladies who would like to learn in the United States. Sometimes we find limited number of people who want to go to New Zealand seemingly because it is a safe country and English is their first language. Despite the fact that American English is the first language in the United States, we seldom find Japanese people who want to learn floral designs in the United States.
Japanese people are very detail oriented and their character is quite sensitive, which MAY be the reason why they prefer to learning European flower arrangement in England, France and Netherlands etc. Another reason why they do not want to come to America is American style floral arrangement is generally very big and it does not fit with Japanese situation. In America everything is big. Floral design is not exceptional.
Actually we can find many Japanese floral designers who learned in Europe. They learn flower arrangement in Japan before going to Europe. Therefore it looks like most students have already earned a decent floral arranging skills before leaving Japan, which is quite ideal way because if they have knowledge and skills of floral designs, they can easily understand what a school teaches in Europe even if they have handicap for making communication in local language.
Being such situation, the majority of students who learn at
