HIKARU SEINO Exhibition in Tokyo SPIRAL
Flower artist Hikaru Seino’s first solo exhibition since returning to Japan, “Hikaru Seino HANANINGEN: Symbolic Fossils,” was held at SPIRAL, one of the most famous Art galleries in Japan Omotesando, Tokyo, from October 5th to 10th, 2021. The venue was overflowing with many visitors.
In this solo exhibition, people were able to see the entire world of Hikaru Seino’s artworks, based on the concept of “symbolic fossils”. His new work “Fossils of Symbols”, which was exhibited for the first time, suggests the coexistence with nature while utilizing the inherent power of plants against the background of human history.
Hikaru and his disciples have been decorating the heads of people of various races and professions with flowers all over the world.
In addition to Hikaru’s main art object, about 300 art photographs, mostly taken in Japan, were on display.

Question from the Mushroom Moss
As time goes by, what we see is forgotten and erased by the past.
While big and foolish people make, break, and fight for the right values every year. The pure and precious little people who dream with their eyes shining like water, keep putting on the glasses of rightness over and over again.
The heart at birth is the greatest asset of all. When did I stop being able to play with dandelions, rain, and the shadows on my feet in an emotional way? Every day on the train or at the station, I want to be asked by people if I wanted to join them and be friends.
The incredible reality, this mushroom moss still continues to grow all over the world, and in this country, the moss is already growing and thickening with time.
I want to embrace the past and be truly moved by the people and creatures of the world that I am about to meet. I hope that many people can give flowers every day and continue to share their love with each other.
I have a question for you, what is the most important thing on earth around you?
What is the thing or person that would hurt you so much if you lost it tomorrow?
