Flower shop with a special history

In Japan, there is the traditional art of flower arrangement established in the 14th and 15th century, which is the art of creating beautiful displays of flowers and other plants. It is said that the flower distribution system was established at exactly the same time. And around the 19th century, flower wholesalers were established and became the foundation of the business of the modern flower market and flower shops. However, during these 200 years, shops with a long history of selling flowers are very uncommon. A flower shop that has over 60 years’ history and is operated by the third generation of the same family is rare indeed.

Not the usual flower shop

The reason why this flower shop has continued in business for so long is not only because they purchase good flowers but also they provide artificial flowers that meet the needs of modern society. Artifical flowers are used as interior decorations, accessories, food decorations and flowers for funerals. In recent years the quality of artificial flowers has been improved, so that they are very similar to genuine flowers but do not wither. In order to satisfy their customers’ needs, the shop designs the artificial flowers themselves and sells the finished products. Because, usually, flower shops seldom handle artificial flowers or they just sell the artificial flowers designed by other producers, a flower shop that designs according to the customer's needs is very unusual. In addition, they offer preserved flowers. Preserved flower is a flower that can maintain the fresh feeling longer with the special processing of fresh flowers. TA flower shop which deals with fresh flowers, artificial flowers and preserved flowers is quite unique.

Flower shop with rich knowledge

Flesh flowers, artificial flowers and preserved flowers are all designed by themselves. This shows that the owner is highly skilled. The owner studied at a traditional English flower design school in the UK and has the grade 1 flower decorator certificate, which is a Japanese national qualification. She certainly has plenty of knowledge about flowers.
