Fans of anime or idols have always found ways of expressing their devotion and support on special occasions. Whether it's through official collaboration goods and sweets, perfumes, and accessories or handmade items, the possibilities are endless.

Now there's a new service available which provides another option: character-themed floral arrangements.

oshibana-asterisk

Some fans of anime and Japanese idols may already be familiar with it, but oshi 推し in Japanese means "favorite" and it's used to describe your favorite idol (often combined with the word member as oshi-men 推しメン) or your favorite anime character (oshi-kyara).

oshibana-asterisk, whose name combines oshi and hana, meaning "flower," creates custom-designed box arrangements made with preserved flowers in designs inspired by your oshi

To order, you'll provide an illustration, printout, or photo and enter details. For example, for an anime, you provide your waifu or husbando's name, anime in which they appear, and why you like them. Depending on the size of the arrangement, you can specify more than one character (up to 2 for regular size and 3 for premium), which opens up all kinds of possibilities fans may enjoy.

Then, a flower designer at oshibana-asterisk will create a customized arrangement in your choice of size, selecting the flowers and colors which best express your oshi(s).

You can create arrangements for birthdays, Valentine's Day or even a special gift for yourself on any occasion. They can be delivered to any address in Japan.

oshibana-asterisk has retweeted posts from a few satisfied customers. For example, here's Deku and All-Might from My Hero Academia:

Here is an arrangement inspired by Flynn Scifo from the Tales video game series:

As you can see in this arrangement inspired by Kazuma Asōgi from the Ace Attorney game, you can have flowers in any color, including black. This is due to the fact that preserved flowers can be reliably tinted without compromising their quality and durability.
