The art of Makoto Azuma uses flowers and plants as its starting point, but juxtaposes their timeless yet transient beauty with an incredibly diverse range of striking settings. In a series of sculptures, installations and interactive events, he delights in blurring the boundaries between nature and artifice. Azuma founded the floral atelier Jardins des Fleurs in 2002, taking commissions from private clients as well as brands and corporations, both in Japan and all over the world.

His parallel career as an artist began in 2005 and involves creating and exhibiting artworks that turn flowers and plants into a medium for self-expression. In 2008, Azuma founded AMKK (Azuma Makoto Kaju Kenkyujo), a group specializing in experimental floral creation, with the aim of seeking new forms of botanical beauty and new ways to exhibit them. His works have travelled the globe, from barren deserts to frozen expanses, from thousands of feet below the sea to the very edge of space.

Featuring more than sixty projects captured in breathtaking photography, this beautiful book is the most comprehensive showcase of Azuma's art ever published.

Makoto Azuma的艺术以花卉和植物为起点，但将它们永恒却短暂的美丽与令人难以置信的各种引人注目的环境并置。在一系列雕塑，装置艺术和互动活动中，他非常满足于模糊自然与艺术之间的界限。Azuma于2002年创立了花卉工作室Jardins des Fleurs，并从私人客户以及日本和世界各地的品牌和公司那里接受委托。

他的并行职业生涯始于2005年，涉及艺术品的创作和展览，这些艺术品将花卉和植物转化为自我表达的媒介。2008年，Azuma成立了AMKK（Azuma Makoto Kaju Kenkyujo），这是一个专门从事实验性花卉创作的小组，目的是寻求植物美的新形式和展示它们的新方法。他的作品遍及全球，从荒芜的沙漠到冰冷的大地，从海底数千英尺到太空边缘。

这本精美的书收录了用令人惊叹的摄影作品表现的60多个作品，是有史以来出版的对Azuma艺术最全面的展示。
