Welcome your loved ones with a single-flower vase
After a long time, I heard from a friend. This was delightful news during these years when meeting people had been hesitant. I immediately began preparing to welcome my friend.
First, cleaning. Especially the entrance where I would first greet them - I would arrange this with particular care. Sweeping, wiping, adjusting the position of small items. It looked neat and tidy, but something was missing.
Yes, let's welcome them with seasonal flowers.
I headed to the flower shop and selected flowers while picturing my friend's face. Dahlias? Gerberas? Unable to decide, I bought both.
A Shigaraki pottery bud vase. Though compact and suitable for any space, I'm fond of the serendipitous texture created by the layered blue glaze. Which flowers will I welcome with this bud vase? After much deliberation...
I decided to create an elegant welcome with a blue single-stem vase and red dahlias.
After my friend left, I replaced the gerbera in the single-flower vase and returned it to the dining table.
With close friends, no matter how many years we've been apart, we instantly return to those moments when we meet again. She noticed the single-flower vase at the entrance and said she'd like to try it herself. Next time I visit her, I'll bring seasonal flowers as a gift.
The next morning, I found gentians blooming in the garden. I placed one in a single-flower vase and set it on the kitchen windowsill. Feeling the deepening of autumn, I instinctively took a deep breath.
Since finding my favorite single-flower vase, I have begun incorporating flowers into my daily life.
I find myself feeling somewhat happy to have become someone who can not only feel the seasons close at hand, but also treasure such moments while admiring flowers—taking time to reflect on my own feelings and think of others.
