How about a battle with flowers instead of swords? It’s 16th Century Japan’s ‘Age of Civil War,’ and one man works with flowers to bring peace to the land. He is Senko Ikenobo, one of the “flower monks” of Rokkakudo Temple. Featuring more than 200 floral ikebana arrangements, the film was created with cooperation of Ikenobo school, and three major schools of tea in Japan.
