Discover a Unique Healing Experience with Jellyfish and Flowers

Hibiya Kadan, a renowned floral design company based in Minato, Tokyo, is collaborating with Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa to create an enchanting exhibition that merges the beauty of jellyfish with seasonal flowers. This mesmerizing display will run from April 25 to June 28, 2026.

A Dreamy Space Inspired by Nature

The centerpiece of this collaboration is the jellyfish display area named "Jellyfish Rumble," which spans an impressive 9 meters in width and 35 meters in depth. Visitors will encounter a stunning collection of 7-8 types of jellyfish beautifully showcased in aquariums adorned with June flowers. This innovative blend aims to transform the essence of jellyfish into the stars of the display, while the summer flowers serve as lenses to appreciate their beauty. This fantastical environment is designed to mimic a kaleidoscope, changing its patterns and colors with each moment, inviting guests to perceive marine and terrestrial life from refreshing perspectives.

Elements of the Exhibition

Kaleidoscopic Invitation

At the edge of the kaleidoscope realm, delicate mirror sheets will create a whimsical boundary that invites guests inside. The lines drawn on these mirrors reflect intricate geometric designs, augmenting the visual experience of observing jellyfish from multiple angles. It also doubles as a beautiful photo spot for visitors to capture the dreamlike atmosphere.

Iconic Aquarium

Located at the heart of the exhibition is the symbolic aquarium, featuring a breathtaking design with blue and white flowers surrounding the "Blue Jellyfish" which is known for its floating grace as its umbrella and tentacles transition to a vivid blue as it matures.

Floral Ocean's Infinity (Cylindrical Aquarium)

The cylindrical aquarium is enveloped with summer flowers that resonate with the jellyfish's unique characteristics. Their reflections beautifully multiply across mirrors and ceilings, creating an endless immersive experience that transports visitors into an infinite ocean of flowers.

Unique Pairings

Each aquarium pairs jellyfish with corresponding flowers, creating striking visual and thematic connections:

• - Indonesian Sea Nettle and Orchids: Both species are equipped with unique adaptations to ensure survival—this pairing showcases the allure of nature's fierce beauty.
• - Giant Jellyfish and Hydrangeas: The transparent Giant Jellyfish, with its distinctive cross-sectional reproductive glands, harmonizes with the crystalline magnificence of Hydrangeas.
• - Sun Jellyfish and Delphiniums: The Sun Jellyfish and Delphinium, both seeking sunlight while captivating observers with their charm, make for a poetic representation of symbiosis.
• - Red Jellyfish and Iris: The interplay of the striking red stripes of the Jellyfish and the patterned petals of the Iris exemplifies the balance of attraction and function.

Educational Experience with Postcards

To enhance the visitor experience, informative postcards will accompany each aquarium, sharing insights about both the jellyfish and flowers while also delivering meaningful messages derived from their connections. These cards will be available until they run out.

In addition to the standard exhibition, Hibiya Kadan will also host a special event titled "Heartful Aquarium" on the evenings of Mother's Day and Father's Day.
