\"kikuThe polls have closed and the final results are in. Voters have made their choice. Time to announce the results of…our Kiku<\/em> Poll!<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, we asked visitors to select their favorite kiku <\/em>style <\/a>and the race was tight. It seems all four display styles have their fans. In an extremely close survey, the dramatic single-stemmed ogiku<\/em> pulled an upset, coming from behind for the win, earning 30 percent of the\u00a0votes. In a very close second place was the dome-shaped ozukuri<\/em>, with 28 percent. The new style, shino tsukuri<\/em>, and the cascading kengai<\/em> were tied for third, both with\u00a0a respectable 21 percent.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote in our fun\u00a0little election. Be sure to see the displays\u00a0in real life by visiting Kiku: The Art of the Japanese Chrysanthemum<\/em><\/a>, which runs through November 16. This video gives you a preview of what you’ll enjoy.<\/p>\n
