What are the conditions for beautiful moss?

This is an image of a sai tree with fresh moss on it (it can't be converted into one shot...).

After all, it's water, light and air.

In the first place, for those who say what is a saigi, it will be a work that is classified into a category paired with the moss balls of our workshop. 

It's like processing driftwood to make a parasitic planting plus a box garden (abstract...).

It's like the world view of bonsai and a diorama...

I would like you to see the real thing.

I'm sure you'll understand.

Well, this time, I'm going to talk about wood and moss that can be produced beautifully.

I would appreciate it if you could watch it until the end.

Selection of moss

I think many of you know about moss, but there are many kinds.

But in general, the moss you can get in the area where you live is limited. If you run a moss museum or are not a moss collector, I'm sure that's the case. In our workshop, we only handle dozens of moss, which are said to be thousands of types of mos. Because the number of moss that can be decorated beautifully is limited. The number of types handled is not very important.

In the end, it's more important to see a work using moss in the eyes of those who watch it. That's why it leads to "I want to worship beautiful moss ..." in the article title.

Regarding the diorama feeling I wrote in the preface, I think that you can feel the first image with the second image about the feeling of the miniature garden.

There are many things to be aware of when pasting moss, but in fact, we are particularly conscious of how it looks in this perspective. If it's far away, the fluffy part can be an accent or get in the way. If you look at the grass like a uniform soccer ground, the beauty will disappear. This is the place to show off.

In addition, we basically don't use the same thing used for moss balls. Because if you stick it on the moss ball with the moss in the image, it will just collapse and the freshness will disappear.

"Choosing moss" is important.

However, for those who can watch it, I have a strong feeling that I want you to enjoy it at a glance without thinking about such a thing 💧 I would be happy if you could see it from such a point of view when looking for cute moss balls by mail order or online shops. It's the same for buying as a gift, isn't it?

This is the commitment of our workshop and craftsmen.

Three-dimensional feeling of moss

It's not a big expression, but the three-dimensional feeling is also an option of "chooss".

If you imagine the foundation that makes use of Tokusa during production, the selection of moss is still very important. The fact that the moss looks beautiful and the overall sense of balance will also be questioned.

Considering the volume of the plants to be planted, emphasizing only moss is a negative factor. I'm working on the composition while using such an image that suppresses the three-dimensional feeling while creating a three-dimensional feeling.

That's right, I'll write about the moss ball and mold problem at a later date.

As an aside, an elderly customer who came to the workshop (did you say you were in your 80s?) Said, "The spy family is interesting." It's certainly interesting, but the width of the generation is too amazing! I saw an article that recorded an explosive video views in China, so I realized that it was a ridiculous work. By the way, the figure sold on Amazon had a good price.

I was planning to take a picture side by side with moss balls... 

Thank you for reading this article 1

Those who arrived at this article are those who like plants, those who are interested, and those who have unexpected questions and "why?" And I think he's a curious person. It's a wonderful thing. In this blog, we aim to create a site that can help you with articles about moss balls, plants, seasons and nature.

The name of the moss ball is Akihabara...

I have received permission to post it.
