Joan Català is the founder of Omotesandō Plants, kokedama specialists. He explains that Omotesandō is the product of a love of plants, the desire to start something new, and a trip to Japan. Their kokedamas have appeared in publications such as AD and have been used to decorate hotels like the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona.
Kokedama means 'ball of moss'. This Japanese technique is more than 500 years old and uses moss to create an entirely natural plant pot. Omotesandō seeks to use this technique to bring a piece of nature into every home.

Well, it could be more complete, it's good, but the content is a bit basic and easy to find, I already work with plants and especially tropical ones, I would appreciate it if the information were expanded or that more content and different techniques would be used,

I really liked the course and also the professor who had a lot of knowledge and teaching skills. I found it very detailed and easy to understand. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for alternatives to traditional vases and wants to learn an elegant way to decorate with plants.
