Gachapon Plant

posted 08/09/18

Close to Chuo Dori is a shop called Mudaya ( "Useless things"  shop) that started to sell the new Gachadening (gachapon + gardening) capsules during the beginning of September.

Basically it comes as a plastic ball shaped similar to a regular gachapon, capsule toys that are highly popular in Japan. The Gachadening however contains one of six random seeding sets and gives the owner everything he needs to grow his own plant. In a gachapon-similar fashion one does not know which of the six products will be inside prior to buying. It could be parsley, basil, grape tomatoes, red pepper, a mimosa (!) or even the secret plant. After placing the assembled capsule in a bright and ventilated spot, which could be your working desk, it should grow to a reasonable size within a week. Then it's time to identify the plant by utilizing the included chart.
 
The production company responsible for assembly and planning of the product made sure that every component from casing to all of the contents inside are biodegradable as part of a environmentally friendly approach.
 
A spokesman said:" Due to the products small size we hope that people will put them in their work environment so they can rejoice everyday in watching the plant grow, experiencing something that might commemorate childhood experiences."
 
One Gachadening is prized at 500¥.
