Contemporary Moss at ICC

Thanks to the efforts of Seiko Mikami the moss archive could welcome a new entrant today. Seike told me yesterday about the existence of kokeidama, terracotta balls covered with moss, which seem to become quite popular in Japan at the moment. I still don´t know exactly what people are doing with it. Anyway I find them interesting enough to exhibit three of these balls together with the moss boxes. This one of the many traces showing that moss is not timeless at all. However it´s probably one of the latest efforts in Japanese culture to introduce moss into contemporary living rooms.
