Flower vender in Tobita Shinchi, Nishinari-ku, Osaka
Tobita Shinchi is the largest brothel district in western Japan.
The flower vender said, "I have been selling flowers in this same spot for 60 years. I don't even take day off in the winter, I start selling from 7pm when the shop is closed with the shutter down do I could sell flowers in the spot. I sell until midnight almost everyday".
The flower vender is sbout 80 years old.

I went to Tobita shinchi to buy a flower every day. I put them in a room of a former, emptied candy factory, where was about 20-minute walk away from the flower vender.
Also I placed the paper thas had the anecdotes written on it about each encounter I had with the flower vender. Meanwhile I picked a rock everyday during the 20-minute walk in between the flower vender and the candy factory as a paper weight.

Visitor to the exhibition would receive the key to this room from exhibition staff.
All the the flowers on exhibition were for sale, visitors could buy the flowers if they wish.
The price of flowers varied, depending on the price I paid to the flower vender - the visitors whom bought the flowers would never need to pay higher than the price I paid for the flowers. The anecdotes would be attached to the flowers sold to the visitors.
