Hana-Jikan (Japanese Flower Magazine) - 花時間11月号


日本にいるときも、イギリスに来てからもずーっと読んでいたそんな雑誌に、ひょんなきっかけから載せていただきました。出来上がった雑誌をいただきましたが、どうも自分のページは最後まで開ける事が出来ず、他のページばかりを読んでいました。この記事が運んで来てくれたのは、花の仲間達からの’見たよー!’の声。懐かしい声の中に、’自分で仕事を始めたんだよ’の声。ヴァイタリティーと繊細さが同居する彼女は、いま大阪の街で花を発信しています。大きなウィンドーのあるお店は、彼女らしい空気感でいっぱい。笑顔が暖かな大阪の街で、一体どんな花に育っていくのか。お互いにエールを送り合う、花の仲間の一人です。彼女のお店のホームページです。http://www.cocontohzai.com
Hana-Jikan - I have been reading this magazine since I was in Japan. Last year, luckily, I had a chance to be featured in this magazine. The editor had kindly sent me a couple of copy of this issue, but I could not open the page I was on for a while. I guess I was a little bit nervous and shy... Anyway, this article has brought me some voices from my colleagues working with flowers. Some of them are no longer in business, though. Among these, 'I have opened my shop' was from Hitomi. She is now a proud owner of her own shop called Cocon Tohzai. The shop has a huge window, and filled with her aura: lots of vitality, yet very delicate. Colourful and smiling town, Osaka, is her base now. I am very much looking forward to seeing what FLOWER she will bring up there. My colleague in Osaka. Why don't you have a look at her web site? http://www.cocontohzai.com
