Botanical Animation “Story of Flowers 2″

The Story of Flowers animation series launched in 2017 as a gift to children worldwide, with the first film exploring the life cycle of
flowering plants. In part two we delve into the relationship between flowers and humans: the way we involve flowers in our lives through
various cultures and practices. The animation looks at flowers not from a material viewpoint; instead seeing them as symbols of
connection, a way we share emotions. It is Azuma’s vision to show children the deep connection between flowers and ourselves, and turn
their eyes to the power and potential of flowers.
