We pursue the creation of new value through dried flowers, combining the charm and potential of Japan’s craftsmanship culture to develop products that embody “Japanese dried flowers.”
Our output aims to be a unique form of creation, born from a culture that cherishes not only the blooming of flowers but also their fading and even their fallen state.
Our product, named OUKA-Flower, is a one-of-a-kind handmade floral creation. In addition to commercially distributed flowers, we gather a diverse range of plants, including discarded flowers, wild grasses, and pruning waste, rediscovering their inherent beauty and value before carefully crafting them into unique pieces.
Just like the very first person in human history to give flowers as a gift, we deliver each piece with the utmost care and sincerity.
Flowers may not be essential to daily life, yet they have the power to bring a sense of specialness.
At OUKA-Made, we create handmade products that provide new spaces for dried flowers, driven by the desire to bring moments where people can feel closer to flowers and plants in their everyday surroundings. Our goal is to craft a new home for that subtle yet special feeling flowers bring.
OUKA-Flower series connects objects and flowers, breathing new life into them. It embodies regeneration and new value through meaningful floral connections.
OUKA-Made features handcrafted home decor, like denim wall vases and pressed-flower storage boxes, designed to creatively showcase dried flowers.

Together, We Form a Single Flower
“ICHIRIN” is a series based on the concept of “Together, We Form a Single Flower.” In addition to commercially distributed flowers, we actively utilize plants and flowers labeled as pruning waste as dried flower materials. By weaving together various types of flowers and those grown in different environments, we handcraft and reconstruct them into a new single flower.

Featured Items
This product is inspired by the MIKOSHI, a symbol of Japanese festivals. During festivals,MIKOSHI—carried by people with wishes for a bountiful harvest or other blessings—are adorned with dazzling decorations and are often referred to as the “highlight of the festival.” Using physalis and eucalyptus, which carry the flower language of health and well-being, this “ICHIRIN” captures the splendor and joy of festivals.
In Japanese festivals held at night, there is a tradition called “YOMISE” (night stalls). These stalls offer a variety of foods, traditional toys, and games, adding to the festive atmosphere. People are drawn to the softly lit night streets, gathering together to create a lively and bustling scene. This “ICHIRIN” was crafted with the imagery of the vibrant “YOMISE” atmosphere in mind.
