These are akarino-tane's tiny wooden flower vase series (CHIISAKI-HANAIRE) from the city of Asahikawa, Hokkaido.
In the Japanese tradition of flower arrangement, flowers of the season are put in a specially selected vase in such a manner that brings out the beauty of the flowers themselves.
The designer, INOUE Hiroyuki, has created these tiny vases so that many people can gain a feel of what the Japanese art of flower arrangement is like.
Note that these vases are NOT water-proof, so please do not pour water in them.
Please find a beauty in the evanescence of flowers, withering to death.
