In Blood, Flowers Bloom

An intergenerational story of war, forgiveness, and memory told through stolen and returned battlefield souvenirs. How do we remember war? How do we forgive? In Blood, Flowers Bloom illuminates one of the last untold stories of World War II, the common act of soldiers, sailors and Marines taking their enemy's possessions after victory. This is the story of a single Japanese battle flag found among the belongings of a long-passed American WWII veteran, originally belonging to a Japanese soldier.
