Not A Flower was inspired by the poem ‘A Flower is Not a Flower’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto (see below) and features Kanta at Be Natural Models, photographed beautifully by Akira Honda similar to a series of cinematic film stills. Full team credits are below.

 “A Flower is Not a Flower”
A flower is not a flower, mist no mist
comes at midnight, leaves at dawn,
arrives like a vernal dream of spring, how I long for
Leaves like a morning cloud then nowhere to be found
– Ryuichi Sakamoto
