The wreath is Japanese floral artist Manabu Hashiguchi's preferred
floral shape. Its symbolism is universal. With no beginning or end,
the wreath represents eternity and the endless processes in nature.
Hashiguchi's designs are so graceful that they look as if there has
been no artist's hand involved, and nature created the shapes by
accident. Even the humblest of materials get the chance to shine
and tell their story. Discover this intriguing collection of
seasonal wreaths, which balance on the thin line between classical
floristry and land art.
