My crocheted flowers are inspired by the elegance of Japanese culture, drawing from the symbolism of iconic blooms like cherry blossoms (sakura), representing renewal and the fleeting beauty of life, and chrysanthemums (kiku), associated with longevity and nobility. Plum blossoms (ume) symbolize perseverance and hope, while wisteria (fuji) reflects grace and romance. I also incorporate the purity and enlightenment of lotus flowers (hasu), the strength and refinement of camellias (tsubaki), and the fleeting beauty of morning glories (asagao). Each flower not only captures the profound connection Japan has with nature but also embodies the harmony, artistry, and respect for the environment that guide my work.
