WHAT IS KOKEDAMA?

ko·ke·da·ma [Botany] Millennial Japanese technique that consists of working the plants by wrapping their lump in moss. Based on the ancestral technique of Bonsai, where the vase is replaced by a sphere of moss. It is the manual construction of shaping the roots of the plant and being able to suspend it. ​ The term means ball (dama) of moss (koke). Behind the construction of a Kokedama prevails the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, which can be translated as the appreciation of imperfection in Nature and acceptance of natural beauty. It is contemplative art being a symbol of simplicity, beautiful, imperfect, organic and natural.
