I’ve always found something a little bittersweet about these red spider lilies. They are called higanbana (彼岸花) in Japanese and known as kkotmureut (꽃무릇) or seoksan (석산) in Korea.
Its leaves and flowers never appear at the same time. When the flowers bloom, the leaves are already gone. And when the leaves return, the flowers have disappeared.
They never get to meet, yet somehow, they keep their promise to return.
It makes me think about the people and moments we sometimes miss in life. We may not always be able to stay in the same place or share the same season, but that doesn’t mean the connection disappears.
Maybe keeping a promise sometimes means simply continuing to show up, each in our own season, in our own way.
I find something quietly comforting in that.

One of my favorite things about living in Korea? Getting to experience moments like this.

Chuseok is one of Korea’s biggest traditional holidays. It’s a time to slow down, spend time with family, enjoy seasonal food, and simply take a little break from the usual rhythm of life.

I’m taking a few days away from both my research desk and the flower studio to enjoy some family time, the crisp autumn air, and, of course, way too much delicious food.

If you’re celebrating Chuseok in Korea this year, I hope you get to enjoy a little of that same feeling. A bunch of good food, warm company, and a slower pace.

And if this is your first Chuseok, is there a Korean holiday food you’ve been wanting to try?

I love hearing what brings people to Ikebana.

A few days ago, I had such a wonderful session with a lovely lady taking her very first Ikebana class.

She told me she had wanted to learn for a long time, and now that she’s starting a new chapter in a new city, it finally felt like the right time to begin.

I always love hearing stories like this. Everyone seems to come to Ikebana for a different reason, and somehow, the timing always feels meaningful.

For her, it was the beginning of a new chapter. For someone else, it might be a long-held curiosity, a desire to slow down, or simply a feeling that it’s time to try something new.

Watching her make her first cuts and create her very first arrangement was such a lovely reminder of why I enjoy teaching.

Every Ikebana journey starts with a first arrangement, and I feel very lucky to witness those beginnings.

What made you want to begin Ikebana?

There is no real “graduation” in Ikebana.

At first, that might sound a little intimidating. But the more I practice, the more I understand why.

Ikebana is Kadou (華道) “the way of flowers.” It’s not something you simply finish. It’s a lifelong practice of learning, observing, and growing alongside nature.

Of course, you learn techniques. You move through different levels. You become more familiar with the language of stems, branches, leaves, and space.

But somewhere along the way, something else starts to happen.

You begin to discover your own sense of beauty.
Your own way of seeing.
And, sometimes, a little more of yourself.

This week, I reached a small milestone in my own journey: I finally have a chance to attempt a traditional style called 盛り物 (Morimono) — something I’ve wanted to explore for a long time.

It may look simple at first, but creating something that feels effortless takes a lot of practice, a strong foundation, and an understanding of space, proportion, and the nature of each material.

I’m happy to finally have the skills to attempt it — but I also know there is still so much to learn.

And that’s what I love about Ikebana.

There is always another season.
Another flower.
Another way of seeing.

My journey is still unfolding, and I hope it always will be.

When will you start yours?

DM me if you’d like to begin your own Ikebana practice at the studio.

That cool breeze in Seoul lately has been everything. Have you noticed the leaves are just beginning to change? This week, I decided to lean into the shift and put together a little autumnal Ikebana. There is something so calming about catching the season right as it turns.
How are you enjoying the new weather?

There is no flower or branch that Ikebana cannot save.
I was at the flower market earlier for a private lesson. After I finished buying everything I needed, an older shop owner kindly handed me some tiny chrysanthemums for free. They were a bit past their prime, but I thought why not! In Ikebana, every stem still has life and beauty to offer.
I brought them home and made this small arrangement for myself, using her gift alongside a few leftover materials from the studio.
It felt incredibly fitting for today. September 9th is Chōyō no Sekku, the Chrysanthemum Festival, a day traditionally dedicated to wishing for longevity and good health.
As I arranged these delicate little flowers, my thoughts went straight to the generous woman at the market. Wishing her, and all of you, a gentle transition into autumn and a season of good health.

Tiny but mighty.
Have you ever noticed how the smallest flowers sometimes draw you in the most?
In our Hana Therapy sessions, people are often surprised when they reach for the tiniest, most delicate stems over the large, showy blooms.
There is such a beautiful lesson in that: strength and significance really do come in all sizes.
You don’t always have to be the loudest or take up the most space to make an impact.
Hana Therapy is all about reading your current emotional state through the flowers you intuitively choose. It reminds us that you don‘t need to create a massive, grand arrangement to find meaning. Sometimes, it is the quietest floral choices that offer the deepest comfort, proving that small, intentional moments of self-care are often exactly what we need to find our strength.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can do Ikebana 🌱
(And honestly, that is pretty close😉)
There is a unique kind of joy that comes from stepping out of the busy Seoul streets and into a quiet studio surrounded with fresh flowers.
It is the happiness of finally slowing down, working with your hands, and letting your mind rest.
You don’t just take home a beautiful arrangement—you take home a renewed sense of calm.

Saying goodbye to summer with flowers. 🌿
When you watch these moments from our late summer sessions, from the pre-class rituals to the quiet concentration and the beautiful final pieces, you are seeing people actively choosing to slow down.
There is so much magic to be found in simply savoring the season as it shifts. Ikebana is the perfect way to embrace this time of in-between. It isn’t just about making an arrangement. It is a guided, mindful space to heal your mind from the city’s hustle and create something beautiful with your own hands.
Let’s make the most of this changing season together.

September class registration is now open at Colors of Story:
