BETWEEN EARTH AND HEAVEN 2

Edwin Molenaar is a Dutch floral designer who went to Japan at the age of 21. He worked there as a floral designer for several shops until he started his own business in 1997. Meanwhile, he has a floral studio and a gallery in the Risonare Hotel. Edwin Molenaar is well-known in Japan for the beautiful decorating of wedding receptions and parties. This book offers a whole range of ideas for bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, bridesmaids, table decorations, church decorations and wedding cars.

As one of the youngest members of Japan’s long and fruitful tradition of floral artists, Naoki Sasaki manages to hold his own very well. In a short time, he made himself noticed, won several prestigious prizes and grew from a promising name to one of the most respected masters of both traditional and contemporary Japanese floral art.

The periodical publication International Floral Art, published by Stichting Kunstboek, not only offers a platform for new and inspiring floral trends and often spectacular designs, but is also a barometer for the innovation in floral art within each specific country. With more than 50 compositions judged worthy of publication by the international jury, the Russian avant-garde was particularly well represented in the 2008-2009 edition.
