The exhibition will feature Japanese flowers at the Ohara family's main residence, which will be on public display for the first time, and gorgeous Western flowers at Yurinso (Green Palace), the villa where Emperor Showa stayed.

Ost was born in Belgium in 1955. He has exhibited his works in traditional architecture around the world, including at the Belgian royal wedding. In Japan, his works have been exhibited at Ninna-ji Temple, To-ji Temple, and Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto. In 2013, an exhibition was held to celebrate the "Heisei Great Shrine Relocation" of Izumo Taisha Shrine. His style is characterized by large-scale, organic forms.
