- Ikebana mastery by Toru Watarai, renowned for exclusive exhibitions
- Inspired by Kamakura’s nature, using flowers, vegetables, and roots
- A bold, refined reinterpretation of traditional Japanese floral art
- A must-have collection for discerning lovers of modern ikebana
Based in Kamakura, Toru Watarai is a distinguished ikebana master with years of rigorous training. Founder of Tumbler & FLOWERS, he is known for his work in exclusive exhibitions and sophisticated window displays, including floral arrangements for the LOEWE booth at Salone del Mobile, Milano with regular exhibitions both in Japan and internationally.
Toru’s approach stems from daily dedication, drawing inspiration from the natural world—local plants, seasonal blossoms, and unexpectedly, vegetables and roots—to push the boundaries of traditional ikebana. His work blends meticulous craft with a bold, unique vision.
This book collects Toru’s singular perspectives: arrangements of wisteria, hydrangeas, and daffodils meet striking compositions of watermelon and “Balance Wood,” a sculptural study of gravity through wood blocks.
For lovers of refined floral art and modern interpretations of Japanese aesthetics, this collection offers both an aesthetic and intellectual delight.
