“I used to cut the hair of beautiful women everyday; now I cut beautiful flowers. I enjoy both, but the flowers complain less. Flowers are pretty much the same around the world, but the arrangements here are much more simple and natural compared to those in Europe.” Before coming to Fukuoka (his wife’s hometown) one year ago, Giuseppe worked as a hair stylist in London. Now you can find him at Hanasaki Florist under the Nishitetsu Line between Takamiya and Hirao. Tel 092-522-8739
