How it's used
While primarily referring to a retail flower shop, this term is also used for businesses that construct large, traditional bamboo-framed flower plaques for grand openings or festivals. These structures are a distinct part of local culture and are often commissioned from specialized shops rather than standard florists. When referring to the shop itself, always use the classifier 間.
