Greeting
The name of the salon is RÉFLÉCHIR, which means “to think carefully, reflect” in French. At the salon, I would like to be able to once again carefully reflect on various things that I have come across in my life (people, flowers, cities, art, etc.) and express them.

We will set up a florist section to sell bouquets and flower arrangements, and develop flower-related specialty shops.
We shall handle diverse needs and occasions by making use of fleur à fleur, Kyoko Fujita’s brand of artificial flower arrangements, in order to meet growing demand.
We will regularly hold flower arrangement lessons. In addition to offering classes for people interested in flowers as a hobby, in order to train florists who possess a strong sense of beauty, we will arrange a series of classes for semi-professionals and people who want to become professional.
Furthermore, we envision occasionally opening an aperitif bar, juice bar, Weekend Marche, and café that suits the place and my likes.
Réfléchis bien (think carefully)!!
I often told this to children when I was in Paris. I decided to start this salon/boutique after carefully considering matters. There are many things I want to try, and I wonder how far I can take this. I would be happy if with the wisdom and help of everyone, I can communicate, even if only slightly, something useful for the world through flowers.
