June 16, 2019 is definitely Father's Day.
⚠️ This article is a past feature published in 2019.
Some of the products introduced may no longer be available for purchase.

Hello! This is the YOUKAEN Staff Blog. We know you are busy, but this time we have an update from Sakai, from the Gardening Department at our headquarters' Sakurashinmachi store. Every year, for those who never do anything for Father's Day or are unsure what to give, we would like to introduce some Father's Day exclusive products. The following products are exclusively sold at YOUKAEN THE STORE (online store).

❶Preserved flower arrangement by a designer for a cool summer


An arrangement of vitamin-colored and blue flowers in a smooth wooden frame.
It looks beautiful placed vertically, horizontally, or anywhere else. Perfect for a study, dining table, or entryway.
Available for a limited time only.
❷"Naruko Kokeshi & Herbarium" created by Onuma Kokeshi Store, 'KOKESHIUM'


Kokeshium is a completely new item that combines "Naruko Kokeshi," a traditional craft from Naruko, Sendai, with "Herbarium," which is made by immersing dried flowers and other plant materials in oil!
We aim to present traditional crafts in a more accessible and new way. This is a collaborative product with YOUKAEN.
Creator: Hideaki Onuma (craftsman)
You can even choose from S, M, and L sizes! This is wonderful...
❸Sansevieria in a white ceramic pot


Slender sansevieria simply paired with a white ceramic pot.
It's a perfect plant for busy people, as it can be grown indoors and is easy to care for.
Furthermore, sansevieria is said to have air-purifying effects.
I want to keep one...
❹Canotier hat arrangement basket


This is my original product, created by Sakai.
I've filled a canotier hat with three kinds of seasonal greens.
The photo shows Sedum 'Chocolate Ball', Pilea glauca, and Ivy 'Koguma no Ashiato'. They can be grown in a bright indoor environment. The canotier hat can, of course, also be worn! It's a popular item.
Please note that the contents may vary slightly depending on the season.
Thank you for your understanding...
