In June 2008, shu uemura introduces the limited-edition collection named HANA-BI, meaning fireworks, to celebrate the season full of energy, excitement and festivals. The HANA-BI collection is inspired by three fundamental elements of nature: terre (earth), rose (flower), and source (water). The collection includes a series of 100% natural origin fragrances formulated with Depsea water and unique color palettes that captures the essence of each fragrance.

Looking deeper into the essence of HANA-BI, the word also contains HANA, meaning flower, and BI, representing beauty. Fireworks are beautiful flowers of fire expressing the core of shu uemura’s vision for this anniversary collection. As vibrant and energetic as each woman, the diverse colors and dynamic shapes of fireworks are captured in this 2008 summer collection.

The art featured on the products in the limited edition HANA-BI collection was created through a collaboration with Gweneal Nicolas, a multi-talented Tokyo-based architect, space, package and graphic designer. The spontaneous burst of color on the packaging , unique on each bottle, represents his interpretation of a firework, to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Limited Edition 100% Natural Origin Fragrance: “I have always been aware that beauty comes in many forms, in the same number as there are women. This perfume is an extension of my cosmetics. A fragrance, like makeup, will slightly alter its effect with the uniqueness of the individual who wears it.”

shu uemura believes in the importance of nature in beauty. In an unprecedented feat, these three 100% natural origin fragrances incorporate the wisdom of nature with pure Depsea water into a bouquet of fragrances to complete each woman’s beauty. Essential oils act as the core fragrance ingredient.
