In the plant installation created just for this project, you can get a feel for the origins of Etajimaso, which is based on the concept of “a hot spring inn that rejuvenates the mind and body.” Installation work “Thorn Chair” Sit in a chair and spend some relaxing time. A normal everyday life. That comfortable time and space is actually not something we take for granted, but something we are truly grateful for. How happy can an ordinary day be by arranging a luxurious chair and a “thorn chair” that you can’t sit on? Let’s think about it once again.

When I was in my 20s and living a life of traveling around the world, I visited Paris during a trip and was moved by a flower artist working on the spatial design of a select shop. After returning to Japan, she began working on space design using fresh flowers and ornamental plants. A few years later, when I was starting to feel the limits of expressing myself with uniform flowers and plants, I met a
world-famous art collector, and when he saw a damaged plant after delivery, he said, “Plants that fight are… I was shocked by how beautiful it was. Since then, he has changed his criteria for choosing plants from whether they look neat and beautiful to whether they have a “good face.” Deciding to look at plants from a unique perspective and sell unique plants that have found beauty, in 2012, she opened Qusamura, a plant shop that offers unique beauty.
