Sakurako Toyoda was born in Tokyo and now resides in Los Angeles, where she continues to weave together the richness of her Japanese heritage with the vibrant energy of California life.

From a young age, she was immersed in the worlds of art, fashion, and music. Her classical training in music nurtured a deep sense of rhythm, discipline, and harmony — qualities that now flow naturally into her artistry.

Surrounded by beauty and tradition, Sakurako developed a deep appreciation for nature and flowers — not only for their visual elegance, but for the sense of peace and vitality they bring into a space. This sensitivity to both art and nature became the foundation of her creative work.

Guided by this passion, she studied Craft Bonsai under Master Professor Etsuko Aoki, one of Japan’s most respected figures in the field. Under Aoki’s mentorship, Sakurako refined her technique while embracing the deeper philosophy of patience, balance, and harmony that defines bonsai.

Today, Sakurako is a Japanese Government–certified Craft Bonsai Artist and a member of the Japan Artcraft Bonsai Artist Association (日本クラフト盆栽作家協会). Her creations reflect the perfect balance of tradition and modernity — blending the quiet beauty of bonsai with contemporary design.

Through her brand, SakuraKoji, she shares this philosophy with the world: to bring forth new blossoms while honoring timeless roots.

Her bonsai and floral works are not merely decorative pieces — they are living expressions of nature’s poetry, inviting renewal, balance, and tranquility into any space
