An ikebana installation by the ikebana art collective “ike-bana”,
transforming the cultural tradition of Momijigari (autumn leaf viewing) into an experiential work.
This work was presented at MUTEK.jp 2025.
This work reinterprets the traditional Japanese custom of “Momijigari” (autumn leaf viewing) as a contemporary ikebana installation. Rooted in the Japanese philosophical and aesthetic sensibilities of mujōkan (impermanence) and mono no aware (the pathos of things), it seeks to evoke an emotional and contemplative experience beyond words. Through the act of appreciating natural transformation, the installation invites viewers to perceive the transient beauty and quiet depth that have long shaped Japan’s artistic spirit.

Installation
Duration: Generative
A new label formed by three partners:
Ikenobo, the head family and origin of Japan’s traditional art of ikebana; BAUMX, Konica Minolta Japan’s spatial experience marketing division dedicated to the design and dissemination of value;
and enigma, a studio that creates alternative forms of value.
While honoring the history and tradition of the Way of Flowers, which centers on engaging with the “life” of flowers, the label places strong emphasis on creating experiences that are possible only in the present moment.
From value creation to design, dissemination, and iterative evaluation, all functions are carried out as one integrated team, continuously proposing alternative experiences of ikebana.
