Rediscovering Flower Gifting Culture Among Youth at Seibu Shibuya

As Mother's Day approaches, Seibu Shibuya Store is drawing attention to the blossoming trend of flower gifting, particularly among younger generations. In a survey conducted in January, with 1,324 participants, flowers, sweets, and traditional gifts like parasols emerged as popular choices for Mother's Day. Notably, many shared cherished memories associated with flowers in the open comments section of the survey. This rekindling of the flower gifting culture reflects a broader societal trend where young people embrace the tradition of exchanging flowers as a token of celebration and gratitude.

To celebrate this trend, Seibu Shibuya will host a limited-time pop-up store, focusing on flowers as a beloved gift option among diverse age groups. The pop-up shop will run until May 10th, 2026, within various departments across the store.

A Special Pop-Up Flower Boutique

The pop-up store will feature the notable HANAHIRO CQ, a collaboration with the popular flower boutique Claude Kanko from the 16th arrondissement of Paris. This marks the debut of Japan’s first boutique inspired by Parisian floral aesthetics. Visitors can expect to find a stunning collection of flowers that represent the essence of both Paris and Tokyo, showcasing the craftsmanship of Hanahiro’s florists intertwined with Parisian elegance. Additionally, the store will feature a range of seasonal floral gifts along with intriguing offerings like preserved flowers and items from the French brand Ludique, which embodies a playful spirit.
