His distinctive style seamlessly blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western influences.

In 2013, Oshun achieved acclaim by winning the prestigious Hanaike Battle Championship, marking a significant milestone in his career. He has since showcased his mastery through captivating flower performances across diverse global stages including Hong Kong, China, France, and Holland, captivating audiences with his unique interpretations of ikebana.
