The ephemeral beauty of flowers. At the shooting locations, the flowers, illuminated by lights, seemed to move with a life of their own, unfolding a noble and mystical spectacle. Amidst this, the fleeting brilliance and perfect beauty, from bud to full bloom and decay, were captured by Kawai and Okawa.

The beauty of flowers, poised as if about to stir. It is a collection to be savored by hand.
