KOKE is a square of real moss in a natural wood frame, hung on the wall like art. Nobody waters it. AND.LLC makes each piece in Japan from preserved Japanese moss, so the color and texture stay put without sunlight, pruning or a watering schedule.
Backers pushed it past the $6,298 goal already. The campaign closes on Tuesday, December 15, which leaves 31 days to pick a size.

Real moss, preserved before it goes in the frame
The moss is real Japanese moss, picked for its natural variation and then preserved for good. Nothing here is alive. Preservation holds the color and the soft texture in place, so a finished piece skips watering, sunlight and the daily upkeep a living wall would want. Bark and open space sit inside the frame with the moss, and the whole surface stays soft to the touch.
Floral designer Mami Ogura designed KOKE for AND.LLC in Tokyo. Each landscape is arranged by hand, one element at a time, with the balance of moss, bark, space and frame adjusted until it sits right. The maker says no two surfaces feel exactly alike, because the moss goes in piece by piece and the workshop photos back that up.
Ten moss varieties go into the mix. The maker names them like ingredients: Tsuyagoke, Shinobugoke and Ryubigoke sit alongside mountain moss, forest moss and kasumi moss. The blend is why one panel reads bright in one corner and deep green in another corner of the same frame. The balance shifts as the artisan works. The same studio builds full moss walls for offices, judging by the installation photos in the press kit.
Five sizes, two shapes and three frame colors
Every size comes as a square or a rectangle, and every frame is natural wood. The run starts small. Size S measures 7.9 by 7.9 inches as a square or 11.8 by 5.9 inches as a rectangle, and the biggest 2XL rectangle stretches to 27.6 by 19.7 inches across. M squares run 11.8 inches across, L squares 15.7, XL squares 19.7, and every frame sits 1.6 inches deep.
Frames come in Natural, Smoky Brown or Dark Brown. You pick the shape and the color on the pledge form.
Built by hand in Japan
AND.LLC builds KOKE in Japan, and the workshop photos show artisans placing moss by hand at long tables. It’s slow work. That handwork is the difference between a KOKE piece and a printed panel, because a person decided where every clump of green lands. The photos in the press kit show trays of moss sorted by shade.
I like decor that asks nothing back. A poster wants a frame shop, a plant wants a schedule, and a candle just burns down to a jar. KOKE just hangs there. Hang it over a reading chair and the green does the relaxing part of a window view. For anyone in a rental with plain white walls, it adds texture that a poster can’t fake, because the surface is bumpy, uneven and real and a little wild.
Prices, the deadline and the catch
The cheapest way in is the Super Early Bird S at $450, down from the $750 retail price. 45 of its 50 spots still sit open.
Super Early Bird M runs $619 against $1,032 retail, L runs $957 against $1,594, XL runs $1,350 against $2,250 and the 2XL runs $1,613 against $2,688. The 45% Launch Special tiers are gone. Early Bird tiers sit one step up at 35% off. Sizes that sell through drop to that 35% step.
Now the catch. Delivery is estimated for April 2027, so a pledge today means a box from Japan lands roughly four months after the campaign closes in December. Shipping reaches only certain countries, and the tier list never names which ones, and taxes sit on top of the final pledge total.

That’s real money for wall decor. Buy it if you want a green, living-looking wall piece that asks for nothing back; skip it if April 2027 feels too far away.
