Fukazawa came to ikebana through the apparel industry. Significantly
influenced by Asian and
African cultures, his style is distinctive for using all kinds of natural materials, not limited
to flowers but also including water, stones and soil, etc. He also currently serves as the
leader of ikebana perfomance unit "Za Sogetsu". In 2007 Fukazawa won the Flower Mode Award (now
the Flower Art Award) Grand Prix. That same year, he also represented Japan at the Concours
International d'Art Floral. He was awarded the New Artist Prize at the 94th Sogetsu Exhibition
and the Award for Outstanding Artwork, the Hanasanka, at the 100th Sogetsu Exhibition.
