A flower-themed photo exhibition titled "Here's to you - Let's wear a bouquet of flowers" will be held on the 5th floor (B Gallery) BEAMS JAPAN.
This exhibition features works by photographer Masumi Ishida, who is active in many fields, including advertisements for Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Calorie Mate, and Softbank, as well as actor Kaho's photo book ``Otototoi'' (published by SDP), as well as ``Love''. Takako Noel, who focuses on shooting for fashion magazines and advertisements as a photographer based on the concept of ``and peace'', and also works in a wide range of activities including window displays, music videos, and product production, will be participating.
The title "Here's to you" is usually used to mean "Cheers to you!", but it is also the title of a song that Joan Baez once sang in a movie (Japanese title: "Hymn to Victory"). She is known as the "folk goddess" and has been singing about freedom and peace since the 1960s.
The exhibition is filled with the hope that the future of those who visit will be bright and beautiful based on the photos taken by the two of them. Please look forward to it.

There will also be a flower shop on the weekends!
It has been decided that Ako Kawamura's brand ``LAND'' will open a store for two days only, June 3rd (Saturday) and June 4th (Sunday). The following week, on June 11th (Saturday) and 12th (Sunday), STAY FLOWER, which has a store in Daitabashi, will hold POP UP SHOP with the concept of "bringing flower culture to the Millennial generation."
Please enjoy this special weekend as well as the exhibition, created by two florists who also participated in the production of goods to be sold at the venue.
LAND
Ako Kawamura became independent in 2018 and started ``LAND'' as a brand that handles fresh flowers. LAND is an image concept of "somewhere far away and nameless place". By freely combining Western flowers, Japanese flowers, and flowers native to the tropics, he creates a stateless worldview. In addition to creating spatial displays for events and stores, we often collaborate with artists. A shop is scheduled to open at Gakugei University this summer.

STAY FLOWER
A former trading company employee turned into a florist after a single flower, and started with an online shop. In 2021, we will open a store with a verandah in Tabashi, with the concept of ``Bringing flower culture to the Millennial generation.'' In addition to flowers, the shop, which is a renovated 50-year-old traditional house, also has an array of unique vases. We also hold bouquet workshops.

BE AT TOKYO
By mutually leveraging the highly original know-how of both companies, such as BEAMS' "discernment" and "culture creation" and FlowPlateau's "implementation skills" and "creativity that crosses the real and online worlds," we will create a business that is suitable for the world of the future. Established with the aim of realizing ``a society where all artists can live by creating.''
