Hatsune Miku Flower Arrangements Appear in Japan

Start Flowers, a Japanese flower company that primarily does anime collaborations, revealed a new flower arrangement based on the virtual idol Hatsune Miku. The flowers are only available for purchase in Japan on the Start Flowers official site. A standing bouquet will cost 8,000 yen ($55), and a complete arrangement will cost 15,000 yen ($103). They will be sold from today until August 30, 2023.

The new design of Hatsune Miku in a wispy, floral outfit was illustrated specially for this collaboration by Aoto Beni. An iron stand of the new artwork is included as a part of the arrangement.

Pink, white and blue flowers are used in the arrangement in Miku’s image and reflect Beni’s new design. Its long, blue ribbons are inspired by Miku’s twin-tails.

Samples of the flower arrangement were on display during Magical Mirai 2023 earlier in August. Clear files, tapestries, and towels featuring the new illustration were also sold at the venue.
