Nicolai Bergmann, a native of Copenhagen and now a resident of Tokyo, has successfully established himself in Japan as a contemporary flower artist by combining Scandinavian and Japanese styles.

"I always use my brain to come up with ideas to impress people when they receive my bouquets," said 39-year-old Bergmann, who runs a flower shop and cafe in Tokyo's Aoyama district.

Bergmann's distinctive arrangements have caught the public's eye, leading him to expand the field of his activities into holding exhibitions, designing fashion items such as shoes and watches, and appearing on TV programs.
