Spring Film Festival Hanamanma 2026 in Japan Ticket

Overview

Set in the atmospheric downtown area of Osaka, “Hana Manma” (also known as “Petals and Memories”) is a poignant drama directed by Tetsu Maeda, based on the Naoki Prize-winning masterpiece by Minato Shukawa. The story follows Toshiki and Fumiko, siblings who were orphaned at a young age. Toshiki, the older brother, has dedicated his entire life to fulfilling a promise made to their late father: to protect his younger sister at any cost, often sacrificing his own dreams and education in the process.

As Fumiko prepares for her upcoming marriage, Toshiki expects a sense of relief, but instead finds himself confronted by a long-buried family secret. The narrative takes a mysterious turn as it explores Fumiko’s childhood memories of being “another person,” weaving a heartwarming yet bittersweet tale of devotion, sacrifice, and the supernatural bonds that tie a family together. This special screening at the Spring Film Festival offers a rare chance to see this celebrated adaptation of Japanese literature on the big screen.
