Kajin (花人)

Kajin is the name which professionals such as 'flower arrangement experts,' 'Ikebana artists,' 'flower artists' and 'flower designers' prefer to call themselves in public.

Some people say that they should call themselves "Kajin" only when people start to call them "Kajin" because Kajin originally referred to famous artists dedicating themselves in arranging flowers.
