Hanahaki: Stage I
Hanahaki is certainly not an alien term for fiction lovers, especially Japanese fiction. For those that don’t know, Hanahaki is a Japanese term used to describe love. Think of moments that you have felt or expressed strong emotions like joy or love towards someone. That is the Hanahaki feeling.
The Hanahaki feeling gets so intense that you either have a knot in your stomach or throw up when you become so sick with it. Japanese legends believe those feelings are like petals of flowers, as expressed in this art piece. Maria decided to team up with a group of art lovers to depict the Hanahaki feeling, and we are totally here for it.
