An iconic series of glossy, full bleed images by acclaimed Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki and iconic American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, continuing both artist’s historic work with flora. Both imbued flowers with different symbolic meanings, and featured them regularly in images throughout their careers. This publication accompanied a touring exhibition in Japan in 2001 and 2002.
