Kodama Forest
From the forests of Japan to the heart of San Diego, Kodama Forest shares the art of kokedama—plants cradled in hand-shaped spheres of moss, like tiny green planets. Each kokedama is a celebration of harmony, balance, and the quiet power of nature to bring peace into our homes.
Founded in 2014 by Kanako, a Yokohama native inspired by her bonsai-teaching uncle, Kodama Forest has grown into a beloved source for living art. Beyond creating one-of-a-kind kokedama, Kanako leads hands-on workshops at the Japanese Friendship Garden, San Diego Botanic Garden, and more—inviting participants to shape their own little world of moss and roots.
Every kokedama is unique, just like the people who nurture them—a perfect gift, a meditation in green, and a reminder that caring for nature means caring for ourselves.
