Founder and bonsai artist Daisuke Mariko aims to expand the concept of traditional bonsai and share it with the world as contemporary art. His endeavor is to create a new art form that combines the spirit of “wabi-sabi,” a concept deeply rooted in Japanese culture, with modern luxury spaces. Comment from Daisuke Mariko, Representative of JUME BONSAI “We are extremely honored that our ‘Bonsai (Muku) that Wears Life’ will be available to guests at the world-renowned luxury hotel, the Waldorf Astoria. JUME BONSAI is a brand that expresses the “beauty of tranquility” and “memories of life.” We hope this piece will bring visitors a sense of calm and philosophical dialogue, leading to a new cultural experience in a luxurious space. ” Comment from a JTB Representative “JTB strives to create new value by connecting people with people, people with places, and people with experiences. This initiative combines Japan’s proud bonsai culture with world-class luxury hospitality, allowing domestic and international guests to experience the JUME experience.” We are delighted that you can experience the depth of Japanese culture through BONSAI’s works.
