In this week’s Timeout, Alex Martin looks at the flower business in Japan. He writes: “In a shrinking industry, independent florists such as [Tsuyoshi] Hirasawa often endure long, cold, poorly paid hours to stay afloat. However, the blooms and bouquets he assembles celebrate relationships, console the sick and infuse color in the drab monochrome of everyday life. There’s a story behind each order, a sentimental element obscured by the urban hustle but treasured by those in the centuries-old trade.” Story link in the bio. (Alex Martin photos)
