The Flower Breathing (花の呼吸, Hana no kokyū?) is a Breathing Style derived from the Water Breathing, used by the former Flower Hashira, Kanae Kocho and her adoptive sister, Kanao Tsuyuri. The Flower Breathing is a combination of graceful attacks named after flowers and fruits that optimize the users agility and flexibility with the blade and themselves. This combat style also enhances one's vision, albeit at the possible cost of their eyesight.

- Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum (弐ノ型 御影梅, Ni no kata: Mikage Ume?) - A defensive technique that deflects attacks using rotating sword slashes.[1]
- Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo (肆ノ型 紅花衣, Shi no kata: Beni Hanagoromo?) - A single sword slash that curves and twists.[2][3]
- Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility (伍ノ型 徒の芍薬, Go no kata: Ada no Shukuyaku?) - A graceful flurry of nine consecutive attacks that flow and weave in on themselves.[4]
- Sixth Form: Whirling Peach (陸ノ型 渦桃, Roku no kata: Uzumomo?) - A technique used after or during evasion, the user spins around moving with their body weight to deliver an attack.[5]
- Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye (終ノ型 彼岸朱眼, Tsui no kata: Higan Shugan?) - A focusing technique that raises the users kinetic vision to its maximum, while using this technique the user perceives the world as if it were in slow motion. Usage of the technique, however, is highly dangerous, as the tremendous strain on the eyes can causes ruptured blood vessels and could cause one to have partial or complete blindness.[6] This technique is still usable even if the user only has one fully functional eye.[7]
