Kokedama

Green round shaped fluffy moss balls. You may have seen them. They are Kokedama, literally, moss (koke) ball (dama) in Japanese is a recent popular interior item in Japan. In the last few years, it's become popular outside of Japan too.



Maybe you have heard about Bonsai (盆栽), these miniature trees in small ceramic pots. The trees can be looked after generations and some of them are more than 100 years old. If you think about they are the same trees as you see in the nature, it's not so surprising, isn't it?




Bonsai originally created in China about 2,000-2,500 years ago. The photo below is a mural from 706 AD in China and you can see a servant carries Bonsai. In China, it was called 盆景 (Pénjǐng), a tray landscape.




Pénjǐng was brought to Japan around the 8th and the 12th centuries and enjoyed by the noble people. Then in Edo period (1603-1867), Bonsai became accessible to common people.



The origin of Kokedama is Bonsai. It's easier to maintain and you can make your own is the most fun part. The round fluffy shape seems to catch younger women. Comparing to Bonsai that is often considered as "an old people's hobby", kokedama attracts all generations.











Traditional trees or non-traditional trees and plants. It's up to you how to make your kokedama.


If you are interested in trying yourself, here is how to make your own kokedama.

https://tg88host.com/ hôm trước thấy mọi người nhắc nên mình ghé thử cho biết chứ cũng không có ý định ngồi lâu. Vào cái là thấy giao diện khá sáng sủa, bố cục chia thành từng khối nhìn phát hiểu luôn trang đang có gì, không bị nhồi chữ. Mình để ý cái menu đặt ngay chỗ dễ nhìn nên bấm qua lại giữa các mục rất nhanh, kiểu không phải kéo lên kéo xuống tìm hoài. Mấy phần thông tin trình bày theo dạng bảng/cột cũng ổn, nhìn lướt vẫn nắm được ý chính mà không rối mắt. Nói chung cảm giác thân thiện, ai mới vào cũng đỡ bỡ ngỡ vì menu nổi bật và các khối nội dung…

bóng đá kèo nhà cái mình thấy mọi người nhắc hoài nên rảnh tay bấm vào coi thử cho biết. Mình không ngồi đọc hết đâu, chủ yếu lướt xem bố cục với cách họ chia nội dung thôi. Vừa vào là thấy mấy heading kiểu “Soi Kèo Nhà Cái” với “Tỷ Lệ Kèo Bóng Đá Trực Tuyến 2026” đặt khá to, nhìn cái là hiểu trang đang xoay quanh chủ đề gì. Kéo xuống chút có khối “TIN HOT TRONG NGÀY” hiện bài về iPhone 17 Pro với chuyện khung Titan, nằm cạnh mấy đoạn lorem ipsum nên nhìn hơi buồn cười nhưng cũng dễ nhận ra phần tin nổi bật. Nói chung mình thấy trang sắp xếp rõ…

Really beautiful concept — kokedama is such a creative and calming way to bring greenery into indoor spaces. It’s amazing how simple natural designs can completely change the feel of a room and create a peaceful atmosphere.

It’s always inspiring to see how nature-based decor brings simplicity and balance into modern living spaces. https://trustedoptics.net/

Really insightful post about bee biodiversity and how environmental changes can affect natural ecosystems. It’s a strong reminder of how important it is to protect habitats and maintain ecological balance for pollinators.

On a lighter note, I recently came across Chicken Supreme from Hot & Spicy, and it looked quite appealing for food lovers who enjoy rich and flavorful options.
