My wife brought this bouquet home from a floral/social event in Kyōto. Now it joins the jungle between our small living room and kitchen. With the offset dining room, it's a typical arrangement for the first floor of urban residences, called LDK in Japan. Rather than walled off, the counter between the rooms gives a spaciousness to a small total area, indeed an effective use of space that has been a necessity or aesthetic skill in Japan. And we have tried to use that space for nature to reclaim it.
