After an Art Nouveau floral motif two years ago, this year’s edition of the Brussels Flower Carpet is inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s world-famous Japanese print The Great Wave of Kanagawa.
From 13 to 16 August, crowds will be descending on the Grand Place to admire the ephemeral floral display sweeping through the medieval square.
Honouring 160 years of diplomatic relations and friendship between Belgium and Japan, the colourful artwork is the design of Japanese artist Hiro Sugiyama and his collective “Enlightenment”.
