Echoes of Light

Harmony from Japan

In an era of division and isolation,
we need the spirit of "Harmony" (Wa) cherished by Japan since ancient times.

Flower Angel We have guided "Angels" destined to bloom billions of flowers.

Upholding "World peace in equity",
we serve as a "Divine Guidance" from above,
to bring the flower of harmony to this world.

Flower Angel is rooted in a history of successfully promoting Japanese companies and humanitarian efforts globally. We leverage this professional foundation to pursue the higher mission of the Echoes of Light project. Our new focus emphasizes the "circulation of the light of peace": drawing inspiration and harmony from the world to Japan, and subsequently radiating the unique Japanese spirit back out globally. This powerful cultural exchange ensures our vision transcends borders and creates lasting impact.

A feature documentary film visualizing the "shadows" society ignores, themed around wrongful convictions in the Japanese justice system. A record of universal "salvation" that thrusts reality more vividly than fiction.

Message from the director of A Sacred Lie, Mr. Kentaro Kishi

We can only see the world within the reach of light. And cinema, to me, is the act of quietly carrying light and sound into the dark— of making the voices within silence visible once more.

Yet there are those who cannot receive that light, and those who cannot hear its sound. Each time I make a film, I find myself asking, How can I deliver light? How can I hand over sound? That question has shaped not only my work, but also my path—my way of learning how to reconnect with the world.

Through film screenings and museum installations, I have explored different ways of sharing moving images. How can sound be conveyed to those who cannot hear it? How can images be shared with those who cannot see? Each small attempt has been a quiet experiment— a way for light and sound to cross time and space and reach another person’s heart.

The film project I am now developing, A Sacred Lie, follows a woman entangled in a miscarriage of justice in Japan. By depicting her story, I hope to reflect on the society that chose not to see. Between righteousness and indifference, shadows fall. Rather than merely portraying those shadows, I wish to face them together— to turn the filmmaking process itself into a small space of dialogue, where people from different languages and cultures can weave under the same light.

For me, this path is also a journey of listening to what lies beyond sight.

There, unspoken voices quietly shape the world. So that what is unseen may become visible to someone, and what is unheard may be heard by someone. To pass the echoes of light and sound into the future— that is where the journey called Light Echoes begins.

The Spirit of Harmony

Harmony Feat. Jowie & Global Artists

An inspiring story of an African national who expresses his deep gratitude and admiration for Japanese culture through singing. His music touches and heals people’s hearts directly.

Despite not knowing his real name, age, or even his parents—and having no ID or passport—he continues to sing for others, seeking healing and understanding of why he was born after enduring so many hardships.

Even in the face of severe adversity, he keeps singing with unshakable determination, believing that his voice can bring light and hope to others.

His love for Japan has moved the hearts of local street children, who now sing his songs in Japanese. It is truly heartwarming to see how his spirit and music connect people beyond borders.
