Kokedama is Japanese and means moss ball easily translated.
These string gardens that have also been called poor mans bonsai are made of soil, moss and a plant of choice that is placed inside the moss and tied up to a ball and hung.
String garden
Kokedama are created after the reflection of the wabi sabi principles including simplicity, warmth, earthy, irregular, rough, natural, acceptance and observation.
When I first saw these I wanted to learn how to make them. So hoping that I can take a course in Kokedama making soon at Flora Linea by Maja Ljungdal based in Malmö, who is the creator of all of the kokedamas you see here.
When attending Copenhagens North Modern Fair in Jan-16 I was reminded of the string Gardens since several Danish companies are now showing them off in diferent versions.
Instagram has exploded with pictures of these my favorite moss planets. From New Zealand to Sweden the moss sphere interest is growing. Japanese culture being the start of it all once again.
