Marimo
Image 1
Marimos (毬藻, Aegagropila linnaei) are about as simple a plant you
can have. They are a species of algae found in lakes in Iceland and
Japan, among other places. You can buy them from pet shops as Moss
Balls (beware of 'fakes', ie. balls of moss) and are content with
occasional change of water.
Turns out Cognac glasses are perfect for displaying Marimo.
Being skilled in killing plant life, I made myself a few artificial
Marimo to alleviate the potential emotional scarring of losing the
live one.

As with many things, the Japanese have a mascot also for Marimo,
called Marimokkori. And as with many things Japanese, it makes you
raise an eyebrow.
