Slightly warped cover, age spots visible.

A world where flowers and butterflies stand side by side.
Part specimen, part ornament—somehow dreamlike.
Nature, not presented “as is,” but rearranged beautifully through a human gaze.
Suspended between science and romance.

As you turn the pages—
Flying Books for The Little Shop of Flowers
Carpe diem – Gathering Today’s Flowers
Sachiko Nagano
Accordion binding, with an author’s message card enclosed.

Rather than flipping through, you gently unfold and take it in.
The accordion format flows like time itself.
Day by day, flowers encountered in that day’s light.
Nostalgic, slightly mysterious—like stepping into another moment.

For those who:

• Love museums and botanical specimens

• Are drawn to nature-inspired design

• Adore retro, slightly fantastical worlds

Not so much a book to read,
but one to linger over and sink into.
On a shelf, it feels like a small private exposition.
