Japanese national Ikebana master 珠寶花士 didnt have a job until she was 30. After the 1998 Kobe earthquake, she met her mentor 岡田幸三. Since then, her lifestyle changed radically. She has been wearing only plain clothes, almost isolating herself from the outside world. For ten years, she worked in Ginkakuji. Every day she arranged flowers and presented them to Buddha, living her life as a hermit.
