A Tiny Customizable Bonsai Tree That Amazingly Floats In the Air Above Its Magnetic Energy Base

The Japanese company Hoshinchu Air Bonsai Garden is currently raising funds through Kickstarter to bring its new product, the “Air Bonsai” or “Little Star”, a tiny bonsai tree that magically floats above its “energy” base – to market. It comes as a kit and is highly customizable.

It’s a very simple do-it-yourself kit. You have the mossy “little star” ready for transplanting your favorite plant. The “energy base” that conducts magnetic energy that makes your plant float. The portion for the energy base is made of traditional Imari.
