So one of the highlights of my trip was getting to see Distortion x Flowers, an installation by one of my very favorite artists Makoto Azuma. The self-proclaimed flower artist combined botanical elements with musical effecters to create an odd and unlikely ikebana setting. Sponsored by Rightning Inc., the show is currently up at EYE OF GYRE in Harajuku and will remain on display through June 7th.

There was a musical performance by the artist in which he stomped on a bunch of flowers, which I unfortunately missed. But the aromas emitted by all the stomping were still clearly present.
