| Introduction Introduction |
Around the time when the young leaves begin to change color. The cool copper surface gradually warms up from the body heat of your fingertips. The tin patterns applied to the surface of the vessel seem to quietly evoke the feeling of the changing seasons. This exhibition will primarily feature new flower vases. The subtitle, "Green Leaves and Body," was chosen to evoke the freshness associated with June, the month in which the event is held, and the image of the body of a flower vase standing tall, embracing life itself. The venue will be adorned with words of appreciation from Fumika Sato. Vivid words that capture and then bring closer the distance between people and things. We hope you enjoy our new endeavors. I sincerely hope to meet you. Yui Shakunaga
Yui Shakunaga 's flower vases are like planets far beyond this universe. When you arrange flowers, the vibrant life of the blossoms and leaves ignites within the rigid vase, changing the atmosphere and giving you a sense of connection to a world far, far away. That feeling is mine, but it's also open to many other people. I look forward to sharing this important space with you.
A fragrant breeze blows, and a single flower blooms in the water. - Fumika Sato |
