FLOWERART

Bonsai, which has been loved by Japanese people since ancient times as a work of art that goes beyond the realm of gardening, can be enjoyed without the need for watering or other maintenance with the "Fukutsu" brand. Loved and hated by three Tokugawa Shoguns, it is a symbol of family business prosperity and eternal youth and longevity. We carefully selected branches of the Japanese white pine, which is representative of bonsai, and arranged the tree shape and pattern in a balanced way to achieve immortality through preservation processing. By taking advantage of the characteristics of the branches, each one is a unique Japanese white pine bonsai with a different size and shape. We hope you will enjoy it as a gift that conveys Japanese traditional culture while keeping the timeless blue color intact and with wishes for health and happiness.

Flower Art, located in Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, in the northern part of Honshu, Japan, continues to refine its preserved flower techniques (※) with a concept of "bringing unique beauty to every plant." Using custom-made techniques to suit each plant, they give a magical breath of freshness to plants around the world. They have succeeded in processing the leaves of plumeria, which has been loved by people in Indonesia for ages, ranunculus, which was considered difficult to process in Italy due to the thinness of its petals, and Monstera, a tropical plant, in Taiwan, and reborn them as products by the hands of people in each country. They take pride in enriching people's lives through plants, nourishing them with their loving handiwork on each branch.

*Preserved flower techniques: Special processing of plants, such as dehydration and freezing

The Sea of Japan, which spreads out to the west of Japan, has nurtured and supported people, gentle in the spring, refreshing in the summer, quiet in the fall, and rough in the winter. From Flower Art's workshop, you can see the seascape of the Sea of Japan and the pine forest planted by our ancestors to protect us from the sea winds that blow in.

In the summer, the pine tree grows healthy, and in the winter, the strong winds of the Sea of Japan create a bonsai-like appearance.

The pine forest that we are familiar with every day is the source of our idea of "immortality," and the sturdy plants that have grown in a climate with extreme temperature differences support the sense of our preserved flower processing techniques. When we learned the Buddhist term "Shindo Fuji", we realized that the experiences and senses we gained from growing in the environment of our hometown, Akita, had opened up a relationship with plants, and this has become our foundation.
