Nathan - Founder of Kokuga Flower Studio

October 19 2022
It all started after a trip to Japan where he had his first contact with Ikebana - an ancient art known for composing delicate, harmonious arrangements, full of symbolism. Ikebana means "to give flowers to life" or "arrangement of flowers". The contact with flowers transformed Nathan Kunigami's understanding of the world and that's how Kokuga Flower Studio was born. A different space from the traditional flower shops in Lisbon where the beautiful, sophisticated and simple go hand in hand. Get to know him.
