I believe Wolfgang is saying that KUSAMONO breaks down into two parts Kusa, which means grass and Mono, which means thing? (One thing) I believe, that these became so beautiful that they became the head object in the Tokonoma and are therefore presented separately without bonsai. SHITAKUSA Shita, which means below and kusa, which means grass are the plants that are presented with Bonsai or Suiseki in the Tokonoma. Will |

Thanks very much, Will! Your German is much more better than my English. ;o) Wolfgang |

I am working on getting some display elements together, and have been paying more attention to accents. Then I see these! And the photography is impeccable! I'm excited all over again. I plan to start doing some small handbuilt pots for accents, since my wheel throwing needs work. Beautiful, artful, and inspiring. |

Hello Tadashii, I believe that kokedama can also stand alone. Like kusamono, they can be beautiful art objects worthy of displaying on their own. (For those of you who do not know the term, my understanding is that kokedama refers to a small grass or flowering-plant arrangement without a pot. The rootball is covered in moss, and the planting is set on a small tray.) With my best regards, Carl |

Tadashii, Yes, I meant "nearai." Sorry about that. Thank you for the explanation! It's great to have a native Japanese speaker here to explain these terms to us. With gratitude, Carl |
