Flowers and I: The Work of Azuma Makoto

This book showcases the work of flower artist Azuma Makoto over the fifteen years since the launch of his career as an independent flower show owner and flower artist. Here, in single volume, the reader will find the reflections — informed by his current perspective — of a man totally dedicated to the florist's trade, as he recalls the innumerable flowers he has arranged both on impulse, and with the profoundest contemplation; the path he has pursued, tackling challenges head on and without hesitation; and the relationships between people and flowers illuminated in the course of his activities.
