At Annecy, Yamada revealed that she was inspired to create the film when asked by Eunyoung if she wanted to produce a short film centered around music. Yamada, a music lover herself, decided to call upon Japanese singer/songwriter Lovely Summer Chan to produce the music for Garden of Remembrance and worked together to decide on the theming of the film. They both worked backward from the keywords of “Feminine films” and “Femininity,” which Yamada noted could be said for all of her films, creating a poem based on those themes and making a film from there.

 

Hello, This is Terumi manga creator Etsuko Mizusawa was specially asked by Yamada to create the original draft character designs for Garden of Remembrance. Yamada said that she can “sense the feminine fragrance of a lifelike girl” from Mizusawa designs.
