We have written this book and published it with Editorial Oberon, from Grupo Anaya.
In this book we delve into the world of kokedamas and gardens in a bowl. We talk about their origin, their evolution, and the ideas behind each of these techniques. We also teach point by point how to make a kokedama and how to make a garden in a bowl, taking into account the differences when working with different plants and giving you alternatives in case you cannot have access to the same materials that are used in the world of professional floristry.
In addition, we talk about Omotesandō, what inspired us to get into this world, our vision and some of the projects we have done.

About the author:
Joan Català Margarit is from Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. He has a degree in political science from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. After a trip to Japan he discovers the technique of kokedama and is admired by the culture and tradition of the country. When he returned to Barcelona he decided to start his own business. Thus he opened Omotesandō Plants, which has been growing little by little. In a few years, Omotesandō has become a benchmark in the sector and has distributed thousands of kokedamas, gardens in a bowl and preserved roses throughout Spain and much of Europe. It has decorated hotels such as the Mandarin Oriental, appeared in magazines such as Vogue or AD and has a strong presence in social networks.
