A small swag with a deep magnolia green and soft orange accents.
As the season approaches winter, it brings warmth like a ray of sunshine.
The branches have a light movement, and one of their charms is that they seem to capture the scenery swaying in the wind.
The binding part and hanging loop are made from wild grape vines, gently enveloping the whole piece in the simple softness that only natural materials can provide.
When gently hung on the wall, this swag creates a gentle contrast in a tranquil scene, and despite its small size, it has a soothing presence.
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 that moment and have everyone enjoy seeing them."
Wakasokaze's works are imbued with the soft poetry of winter, along with the changing nature.
