This swag is made by bundling black berries and freely growing branches, taking advantage of their natural movement.
The lightness of swaying in the wind and the tranquility of a winter forest blend together.
Wild grape vines are used for the bundling and hanging parts, and the gentle handiwork is in keeping with the cycle of nature.
Hang it on the wall and it will look as if the shadows of winter are falling softly. It is a chic swag that will leave a gentle, deep impression in your life.
Artist introduction
Wakakusakaze
As the seasons change, plants take on different forms.
Wakasokaze gently captures that momentary beauty and projects it into the form of a wreath.
The red berries and deep green that appear with the arrival of winter are as warm as the lights that illuminate Christmas nights, bringing a gentle glow to the quiet air.
Like small prayer wheels waiting for Christmas Eve, wreaths accompany our daily lives and gently embrace the hearts of those who look upon them.
"I hope to continue making wreaths that capture those moments and have everyone enjoy them."
Wakasokaze's works are imbued with the soft poetry of winter, along with the changing nature.
