The Blooming Serenity of MUKU at Palace Hotel Tokyo
In a magnificent step towards blending nature with urban elegance, the renowned flower brand MUKU is preparing to launch its permanent shop at the Palace Hotel Tokyo on December 15, 2025. This shop, situated in the basement level of the hotel, invites visitors into a realm of tranquil beauty, showcasing floral arrangements inspired by the philosophy of 'shiro-muku,' a traditional Japanese ceremonial garment that symbolizes purity and simplicity.
A Brand Rooted in Purity
The name MUKU derives from the concept of 'muku,' meaning pure and unadulterated. The brand's aesthetic rejects excessive ornamentation, focusing instead on the inherent vitality of flowers, the texture of their vessels, the clarity of water, the interplay of light and shadow, and the thoughtful use of negative space. MUKU seeks to elevate the sophistication of the surrounding space through its artful floral creations.
Offerings at MUKU
MUKU's selection will cater to both individual and corporate clients, providing a variety of services. The shop will offer:
- - Bouquets and Floral Arrangements: Customized for gifts as well as business purposes.
- - Corporate and Reception Floral Designs: Ideal for openings, award ceremonies, press conferences, and display arrangements for show windows.
- - Delivery Services: Catering primarily within central Tokyo, available upon prior consultation.
