Framscape

Description

Since ancient times, Japanese people have believed that kami — sacred spirits — dwell in all things. They reside in rivers, in mountains, in trees, and in each and every stone. Bonkei (tray landscapes) emerged long ago as a way to express the sacred beauty of nature. These miniature landscapes have been used to portray harmony within the natural environment.

“Framescape” is a product developed specifically for creating and displaying bonkei in the home. By cultivating plants and experimenting with different landscape compositions, you can enjoy expressing your emotions through nature — in accordance with the changing seasons.
