In a new age of digital-books, this book offers a neat analogue take on scrolling through a flowing roll of texts.

Each year Nissan produces a calendar under the theme of its brand tagline “Excitement unlike any other.” The year 2014 version is an innovative one, featuring “Nicolai Bergmann” who is a renowned floral design artist in Japan.
