"Embracing Life with Our Beloved 'Enkianthus' at Home Starting Today ♡"

A Life with Doudan Tsutsuji is Popular ♡

During this period from spring to early summer, when fresh greenery begins to sprout, stylish people seem to elegantly and boldly decorate their homes with branches.*

Potted houseplants are nice, but greens arranged in a large glass vase have a refreshing and transparent feel, making them even more stylish ♡

Among branches, "Doudan Tsutsuji" is very popular. In fact, there are nearly 800 posts on Instagram with the hashtag "#A Life with Doudan Tsutsuji".

Did you know that Doudan Tsutsuji is such a popular plant...?

<Doudan Tsutsuji's Season>

Doudan Tsutsuji will bloom small white flowers that look like lily of the valley along with the young leaves around April.

In summer, it has lush green leaves, and in autumn, it is a deciduous hardwood that turns beautiful colors.

It typically grows to about 2m to 3m. Its branches spread widely both vertically and horizontally, so you often see Doudan Tsutsuji trimmed into round shapes in urban areas.

Doudan Tsutsuji branches are available from May to August. After the flowers bloom, they are sold as cut branches about 1m long with only leaves.

<How Long Can You Enjoy Doudan Tsutsuji?>

Doudan Tsutsuji can last about 2 weeks to 1.5 months after purchase.*

If too much water is added, the area of the branch touching the water increases, making it easy for the water to get dirty, so it's better to use less water to enjoy it longer.

However, if there’s too little water, it might fall over easily, so it’s a good idea to choose a somewhat heavy vase.

The ideal vase size is about 1/3 to 1/5 of the total height of the Doudan Tsutsuji (if it’s 1m, around 20cm works well) for balanced decoration.*

As the leaves start to wilt, hand-pick and remove them. Since it has high vitality, new shoots may sprout from where you’ve cut the branches.*

When the number of leaves decreases, you can cut and separate the branches to enjoy them longer ♡

<How Much Does Doudan Tsutsuji Cost?>

Doudan Tsutsuji can be found in flower shops for around 500 to 3,000 yen.

Smaller ones about 50cm to 1m are priced around 500 yen, while those that are about 1m with many branches cost about 1,500 yen. Some people have even bought large branches that make you wonder if it’s the whole tree for around 3,000 yen.*

You can also purchase it online, with Rakuten selling 5 pieces of 80-100cm Doudan Tsutsuji for 2,310 yen.*

➡ Buy Doudan Tsutsuji on Rakuten＊

When purchasing at a flower shop, it's good to check for:

☑ Thick, straight branches

☑ Leaves that are full, large, and richly colored

These tips will help you choose a good one ♡

<Size Impression of Doudan Tsutsuji>

For places like entryway shelves, bathrooms, and toilets, consider small Doudan Tsutsuji (about 20cm). Buying a large branch and cutting it to decorate around the house is also lovely.*

Decorate with 1 or 2 branches in a small vase.

For the living room shelf or dining table, placing a medium-sized Doudan Tsutsuji (about 50cm) makes a significant impact.*

Choose branches that spread widely and arrange about 3 to 4.

Large Doudan Tsutsuji (over 1m) can be placed directly on the floor in the living room or entryway for an impressive look ♡

<Where to Place Doudan Tsutsuji>

Now, let’s introduce how stylish people decorate with Doudan Tsutsuji. Let’s imagine where to place it around your home ♡

One Doudan Tsutsuji on the kitchen counter. Even one has a strong presence ♩

About 5 in the kitchen counter. When multiple are arranged, it looks adorable like a small tree ♡

A Doudan Tsutsuji about 1m at the edge of the living room. Even if there's no shelf or counter to display it, placing the vase right in the room's corner works well.*

In the center of the dining table! It makes me look forward to mealtime ♡

One on top of the cabinet.

Placed in the entryway as a welcome tree ♡

Since Doudan Tsutsuji grows wide, for those worried about it falling, place it in areas away from daily pathways, like the corner of hallways or the landing of stairs.*

On the table next to the bed. Waking up to the sight of Doudan Tsutsuji would be wonderful ♡

With a larger, sturdy vase, there’s no worry about it tipping over.*

Next to the kitchen counter. The branches extend to the table, allowing you to enjoy the greenery while seated ♡

When displayed in a vase like a jar, it adds character and changes the impression beautifully.
