Flower's Yearning (1958)
Domoto Kozue, a gifted young ikebana artist, shoulders the legacy of her late father’s school while navigating the pressures of family expectation and an arranged marriage. Her path shifts when she encounters Shinichi, whose presence stirs both inspiration and conflict within the tightly bound world around her. Amid love, rivalry, and the fragile beauty of flowers, Kozue must decide how to shape her own future.
