How AMKK Has Changed the Way We See Flowers

Makoto Azuma and Shunsuke Shiinoki might've given up on dreams of becoming rock musicians, but they didn't hang up their guitars. The pair, renowned for their vivid yet stark take on floral art, make up the bedrock of creative studio AMKK, but are more than just business partners.

Over the course of two days, the MAEKAN team followed the two high school friends as they practiced with their yet-to-be-named grunge rock band and went about their work day, creating original floral works and sharing more about their creative philosophy. We came away with both a deeper understanding of how AMKK works, and a drastically altered perspective of flowers that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
