The Ikeshita area is located along the Mount Higashiyama of the Nagoya Municipal Subway, and is a vibrant town with excellent access from Nagoya Station and Sakae Station. Home to a bustling downtown, luxury shops, and public facilities, this diverse area hides a quiet, soothing space in one corner. This is "THE GREEN moss design," created by moss terrarium artist Yuka Kohara. Nestled in the tranquility of the Mori amidst the bustling city, this specialty shop offers peace and tranquility to its visitors.

A moss terrarium is a piece of interior decor where you grow moss in a glass container and enjoy a miniature world of nature. The gentle green of the moss and the humidity inside the container create a small ecosystem that offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Though located in the busy Ikeshita area, this shop brings visitors a comfortable sense of tranquility, as if they were in the Mori, and allows them to feel a sense of quiet coexistence with nature.

Encounter with moss

"A lot of hardships had piled up, and I was feeling depressed," Furuhara recalled. One day, while walking along a mountain path, he came across some brown, dry moss, and felt that its appearance overlapped with his own state of mind. "Before I knew it, I was pouring water from a plastic bottle," Furuhara said, calmly recalling the experience.

The moss instantly turned green again, and she was so moved by the way it shone in the light that she felt a strong desire to be a being full of life, just like this moss. From then on, she became fascinated with moss, and through repeated experiments while studying it on her own, her unique moss terrarium was gradually born.

Moss terrariums grow through encounters with people

"An acquaintance invited me to set up a stall at an event, so I gave it a try and there was a long line," Furuhara said, recounting her initial experience. "I was very happy to find out that there were other people besides me who loved moss," she said with a smile.

This stall was the catalyst for the creation of the current moss terrarium art, which combines glass, moss, rocks, and small figurines. "It evolved little by little as I was featured in newspapers and held workshops at corporate employee benefits and cultural centers," Furuhara recalls. Furuhara's experiences of nature, having spent his childhood in the countryside playing with insects and plants, led to the moss terrarium art he creates today, which captivates many people.

The appeal of moss terrariums is that they are fun to make and take home.

A moss terrarium is a piece of art that allows you to create a small garden-like creation by arranging sand, stones, and moss in a glass container to your liking, but because it can be made in a short amount of time, anyone can have the experience of success and think, "I did it too!" The appeal of this piece is that it is easy to make, yet the feeling of accomplishment when it is completed is great, and it can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from children to the elderly.

"It's fascinating how you can create completely different pieces even using the same materials," Furuhara said. One of the attractions of moss terrarium workshops is the fun, natural conversation that occurs. There is no right answer for any piece, and moss terrariums, which allow you to express your individuality, are also attractive as interior decorations. They are easy to care for; with just a spray bottle and light , they can remain viable for 5-6 years without withering, and you can enjoy watching them grow and change. "In the future, I would like to focus on overseas activities," he said, sharing his vision for the future. Furuhara's shop, "THE GREEN moss design," is a space where you can feel the richness of nature.
