We will hold a series exhibition as an exhibition commemorating the 25th anniversary of Hiroshima PARCO.
In 2017, at Ikebukuro PARCO, "Sou-Qusamura Exhibition-The World of Wriggling Plants-", plants sought light in the underground space and expressed their "wriggling".
This time, the plants appear on the ground, and they are exposed to a lot of light to express their "noisying".
Please experience the voices of energetic and dynamic plants at the venue.

Qusamura
A botanical shop that proposes unique beauty based on the concept of a "plant with a good face".We propose unique plants collected by the owner himself by traveling in Japan and abroad together with vessels that bring out the characteristics of the individual.
Since the shop owner called the place where plants find plants is called a flora, the origin of the shop name is that the unique beauty may be sleeping in a place that looks just like a flock of grass for ordinary people. "Q" in "Qusamura" is taken from "Question". When I met the plants with unique flora, I felt strange at the beginning, and expressed the desire to enter the world view of the flora from "?"
Kohei Oda (Oda Kohei Oda)
Born in Hiroshima in 1976.
When I was in my twenties when I was traveling around the world, I was impressed by the appearance of a flower artist creating a space for a select shop in Paris where I visited.
After returning to Japan, he began to work on spatial design using fresh flowers and houseplants.A few years later, when he began to feel the limits of the expression of uniform flowers and plants, he encountered a world-class art collector and saw the damaged plants after delivery, shocked by his words, "Fighting plants are beautiful."
Since then, the criteria for selecting plants have been changed from proper beauty to whether they have a "good face."
He decided to capture plants from a unique perspective and handle one-of-a-kind plants that found beauty. In 2012, he opened a botanical shop "Shu-Qusamura" that proposes unique beauty.
He has many collaborations with professionals from different fields such as potters, artists, and novelists, and has presented and exhibited installation works in Japan and overseas.
