The Japanese word "花 hana" means 'flower', "と to" means 'with'.

Hanato, founded by Soonhwa Kang, represents the journey of a growing flower with strong roots, which is affected by its surroundings, how  it is nurtured.

Through artist interviews, Hanato highlights the stories of creatives from diverse backgrounds, offering insight into their artistic journeys. Beyond storytelling, it is also a space for artistic exploration—Soonhwa offers workshops, including Sumi-e, inviting others to experience the beauty of traditional ink painting. Additionally, Hanato features a curated selection of her own handmade creations, bringing art into everyday life.

At its heart, Hanato is about nurturing creativity—believing that Inspiration nurtures our growth like roots drawing from deep soil, weaving meaning into the fabric of our lives.
