The momentum of the outdoors is everywhere, and this is an expression of our desire to live in a natural environment. Let me recommend "plants" as something that satisfies this instinctive desire and also tickles the maternal instinct.
To begin with, I would like to introduce the "Playing with Nature, Living with Nature -GREEN NEIGHBORHOOD LIFE-" event to be held at the Hankyu Umeda main store. The contents of this event are sure to arouse the plant cravings that lie dormant in the hearts of experts and amateurs alike.
The event, which claims to be a fun way to realize a lifestyle in harmony with nature, will bring together outdoor brands such as The North Face and Patagonia, as well as brands and restaurants that deal with the natural environment, such as Daikanyama Fruit and Vegetable Shop and COZY COFFEE SPOT. . . A new outdoor style will be proposed for city dwellers in Osaka.
And from Tokyo, a plant store in Harajuku that specializes in tuberous plants and agave plants, "AgaveRAFLUM." exhibits a physical store for the first time. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the highlight of the event.
RAFLUM is a plant store located in Harajuku, Tokyo, which is open by appointment only and mainly deals with popular and rare tuberous plants and agaves, which have become a hot topic in recent years. RAFLUM's reliable selection of plants has earned it a strong following among plant lovers.

This time around, the store will be selling popular tuberous plants such as pachypodiums and opercularia pachyps, as well as "pachyderms" and "pachyderms".STYLE OF CHIKA. exhibiting a large number of "agave" and other plants. This will be a unique opportunity for those who live in Osaka, as they usually make reservations only.

In addition, there is a collaboration set that combines a flowerpot from HACHILABO, which produces and sells flowerpots created by popular artists, and a plant from Laflamme, available in limited quantities. The design, with its chipped edges, is quite cool and speaks of the majesty of nature.
RAFLUM STUDS POT ¥7,700

Also check out the first two original flowerpots from "Laflamme. One is decorated with studs like those used in clothing design and has a somewhat urban atmosphere. The other has a punkish look with a skull motif. Both are likely to bring out new expressions of plants.
