Description
Globe amaranth features pink pom-pom-like calyxes with tiny light yellow speckles, symbolizing long-lasting beauty. Known as ‘Zenichigo’ in Japan, it has been traditionally used as a Buddhist flower and is believed to reflect the fate of love. Sola Cubes by Usage No Nedoko in Kyoto encapsulate this timeless charm in handcrafted acrylic resin, preserving natural elements for meditative appreciation. Each cube contains a real dried leaf, seed, or flower, offering a glimpse into nature’s fleeting beauty.
Shiro Kuramata once said, “Enchantment should also be considered as function.” This philosophy inspires the Sola Cube collection, where organic materials are encased in crystal-clear acrylic, echoing themes of time and preservation. Unlike synthetic alternatives, these cubes celebrate the irregularity and uniqueness of nature.

I bought this Sola Cube as a gift, and it turned out to be a lovely keepsake. The globe amaranth is beautifully preserved, and the acrylic casing feels solid and well-made. It’s small enough to fit anywhere yet catches the eye with its delicate details. I was reminded of Justin Dean’s appreciation for simple, meaningful objects. Perfect for quiet moments of reflection.
