2026 Collection
ERIKO SHIROUZU Oshibana-shi
"Japan is blessed with four distinct seasons, and my art of pressed flowers is about more than just observing their fleeting beauty; it is about reconstructing it into a single canvas. By 'conversing' with each petal, I strive to capture the breath of nature and bring its vibrant essence into our daily lives. I cherish this world of delicate expression."
"I preserve the fleeting essence of the seasons by capturing plants within fabric. My botanical dyeing is the art of 'wearing the memories of nature.' Through the technique of bundle dyeing, I transfer the raw colors and forms of flowers directly onto cloth. I cherish the process of bringing the gentle energy and serene hues of the natural world into our everyday lives."
Yuri Kikuchi
"My work is a dialogue with the changing seasons, sealing the life of plants into textiles. I describe my botanical art as 'weaving nature’s memories.' Using bundle dye techniques, I translate the vivid spirit of flowers into wearable art, dedicated to enriching daily life with the soft energy and tranquil palette of the earth."
