Kazahana, Minami-Aoyama (now i2 cafe)

2008 Minami-Aoyama, Minato, Tokyo

Greenery born in 2008 on the outer wall of a café in a residential part of Minami-Aoyama. Japanese pachysandra, tea plant, maple, sword fern, New Zealand flax, leopard plant, seasonal flowers and more are set in an irregular arrangement, so that every plant has a leading role. The green wall is still growing today.
