Mr. Ishihara will participate in the "2016 RHS Chelsea Flower Show," hosted by the Royal Horticulture Society (RHS), and his challenge is to be awarded his 8th gold medal.Festaria bijou SOPHIA's creative team has manufactured the object that will be displayed inside the "artisan garden" during the Chelsea Flower Show in London from May 24 to May 28.

A cubic zirconia ornament featuring festaria's trademark "Wish upon a Star" diamond cut will be enclosed inside a sphere-shaped acrylic object together with Mr. Ishihara's signature "karesansui" motif to represent our theme "world peace."



The festaria brand's mother company Sadamatsu was established in Kyushu, southwestern Japan, in 1920. And Mr. Ishihara was born and raised in Kyushu as well. Since the tragedy of the Kumamoto earthquakes in Kyushu, we hope this collaboration could give a powerful message to people all over the world as a "Love and Peace" prayer for Kumamoto.
