Hometown Stories - Season 6 Episode 25 Our Flower Field (2024)
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.
