Admiring the product line of this Japanese design shop, Dento House. The company has brought together prestige designers of Japan to produce a product line that marries traditional crafts with modern sensibilities. Particularly liking the graphics on the kokeshi dolls. You can view the rest of their product line on their website and can also follow them here on Facebook.

Would love to have viewed this exhibition of “Iced Flowers†created by Japanese botanical artist, Makoto Azuma. The artist encases the exotic floral bouquets in massive blocks of ice and temporarily frees them from decay. This seemingly immortal state changes as the ice slowly melts and the flowers wilt and rot. He writes on his website:
“This exhibition presents “ICED FLOWERSâ€, a work to observe the changing life of flowers that are locked in ice. Flowers will show unique expressions that they do not display in everyday life, by placed under such a different environment.â€
