🎍 Ohara School Ikebana Exhibition Review

The Ohara School Ikebana exhibition has been held many times at Spiral, a cultural complex in Omotesando.

• Highlights: The Ohara School's distinctive style is its realistic use of natural flowers and plants, harmonizing them with the space. The exhibition hall featured a diverse range of expressions, from bold works using bamboo and branches to delicate works featuring a single flower.

• Dialogue with the Architecture: When flowers and foliage are arranged in the modern glass and white space of Spiral, the architecture itself becomes a "vessel," giving the flowers a more three-dimensional feel. The exhibition, illuminated by light streaming in from the atrium, was particularly impressive.

It was an experience of "rediscovering nature in the heart of the city."

🏛 About the Spiral Building

Designed by Fumihiko Maki & Associates in 1985, the Spiral Building is known as a cultural hub.
• Spiral Hall: The main space where exhibitions and performances are held.
• Spiral Garden: An open, glass-walled atrium where art exhibitions and events are held.
• Origin of the name: The building's symbolic spiral slope is meant to represent the "overlapping of time and the flow of people."

🛍 General Stores in the Building
• Spiral Market
A lifestyle shop located on the first floor. It offers a wide selection of domestic and international craft goods, designer stationery, tableware, and accessories, all of which are stylishly designed. Stop by during your business trip to find souvenirs.
• Recommendation: The original brand "+S" series. Simple and sophisticated everyday items are perfect for bringing back from your travels.

☕ Restaurants & Cafes within the Museum
• Spiral Café (1st Floor)
A stylish cafe befitting the artistic space. With a wide selection of salad lunches and sweets, it's perfect for savoring the afterglow of an exhibition.
We especially recommend teatime while gazing at the Omotesando streetscape through the glass windows.
• Restaurant Iconic (formerly Chef's Table)
This restaurant is located on the upper floor. Its modern French style makes it the perfect venue for a post-art event or special dinner.
