The fourth book featuring works by master Japanese flower artist and botanical sculptor Makoto
Azuma, this edition adds five new series to the ones established in previous editions: Earth,
Horizon, Ambiguity, Torus, and Matrix. Filled with Shunsuke Shiinoki's breathtaking photographs
of flowers and botanical displays, the book celebrates nature's diversity and beauty, as well as
the poignant, temporal notion of a plant in bloom. It gives an overview of Azuma's numerous
experiments in presentation and new compositions, with hopes that flowers might be seen as a
kind of prayer that goes beyond national and religious boundaries, transcending sex, race, and
ethnicity.
