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.
