Ms. Suzuki’s experience includes holding the ikebana exhibition at the South Carolina Art Museum, holding the ikebana exhibition in collaboration with local artists, and conducting workshops at the North Carolina Museum of Art. As the Ikenobo Special Visiting Professor, she has taught classes for Ikenobo Chapters and Study Groups in North America.
