Once upon a time in China, people left their home country to escape war and poverty, seeking new lands with hope in their hearts, and found a way to survive overseas. It is said that they carved out a way to live in a foreign land with three cutlery in hand: scissors, razor, and kitchen knife. As time passed, many of them no longer picked up scissors or razors, but kitchen knives remain their way of life. TABLE OF THE FLOWERS is a documentary film that focuses on Chinese chefs in Japan and their lives.
