- Inspiration
- Displaying intense emotion is usually avoided in Japanese communication. This is especially the case in formal situations such as in the workplace or school, which may make this environment very stressful and out of balance. In Japanese traditions, the Bonsai tree symbolizesharmony, peace, order of thoughts, and balance. Mood Tree is simply an elegant way of communicating your feelings and emotions to others in order to restore this balance between your inside thoughts and outside reaction
- Project Duration
- The project started on July 2022 in Japan. The target of the project was to design desktop products and sets that can solve social issues and make people embrace their changes and differences.
