"I highly recommend Ryoko’s ikebana class. I hoped that the class would create an atmosphere where our team of 7 could relax and get to know each other a little better while also learning a new skill. And it succeeded beyond my expectations!"
"Ryoko did an ikebana class for my team of 15 and it was a huge hit! She gave an incredible introduction to the art form and led everybody in creating amazing arrangements. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a fun team building experience!"
"Ryoko’s warmth and passion for her work is immediately visible. We knew she would add so much value to the Astoria Farmers Market. Seeing the smiles as people finished their arrangements was such a joy! We would love the chance to work with Ryoko again."
