Let's love flowers and photography. What is "Decorating Photography" by photographer Naoya Matsumoto and stylist Michio Hayashi?

I don't want to arrange flowers, I want people to decorate them. Naoya Matsumoto and Michio Hayashi started the "Matsumoto Hayashi no Hana (Flowers by Matsumoto Hayashi)" with this idea in mind. I have seen them before in HOUYHNHNM.Michio Hayashi, stylist and designer for "byH. This time, a certain sense of beauty, which was also discussed when we interviewed the "Mere Old Man," has come to fruition in a single form.

We will be looking at Michio Hayashi , a solitary creator.

Mr. Hayashi, who loves flowers and photography, gave a love call to an old acquaintance, Mr.Photographer Naoya MatsumotoThe main concept of the exhibition is "Decorative Photography," in which flowers are used as the subject matter, Hayashi handles the styling of the vase and space, and Matsumoto captures the flowers in his photographs.

With the street art scene on the rise, the act of displaying something in a room is becoming more common than ever before. However, many people still feel that it is too difficult to decorate a room with photographs.

The combination of "flowers," which are loved for their fleeting beauty, and "photography," which can permanently preserve beauty, has fascinated many artists in all ages and cultures.

What kind of work did the two creators, both of whom live in the age of 2025, sublimate?

The venue is OKYAKU, a concept store in Kochi City. Why don't you go and see "beautiful things" at the end of the year?
