Flora japonica is a photo-novel digitally published as an horizontal fresco, like the illustrated handscrolls (emakimono) that are considered as the ancestors of manga. It features the members of the BEJ, a Tokyo-based old-school research center specialised in plant photography. BEJ's Boss seems to have more passion for photography itself than for the plants he photographs. Will the output be up to their ambitions?
