Back when flower nurseries covered its slopes, Shishijima in western Japan was known as "flower island". Today it's home to only about 20 people, including 82-year-old Takako Takashima. She and her husband, Nagao, supported their family for half a century by raising flowers in a field they created together. He died 3 years ago, but she still climbs a steep slope every day to tend to their field. The work is tiring, but she lovingly nurtures the blooms, while cherishing fond memories.
