Opening the Door to the Future with Plus Flower

At the venue, a symbolic red door display will appear. When you open the door, you’ll find it filled with dried flowers from the Plus Flower project—flowers that were once destined to be discarded. Through this display, we share a message of giving new life and purpose to each flower, alongside the beauty of the Hanachozu exhibition.
