Born in 1972 in Shakujii Park, Tokyo, Hirofumi Suga began his journey in landscape architecture at the age of 17. A year and a half later, after being enthralled by the beauty of Kyoto’s gardens he sought to receive training by the head garden designer at Ryoanji, only to be refused by the chief priest. By introduction from Ryoanji’s head garden designer, he was able to receive training at Kyoto/Jonangu Shrine famous for Kyokusui no En. Following roughly four years of training, Suga began his own career as a garden designer at the age of 22. From that time, he also began studying the art of tea ceremony and flower arrangement. Around the age of 30, design and planning job requests began coming in more often, and at the age of 44 he opened up his office in Barcelona, Spain. Currently, he works globally based out of both Japan and Barcelona.
