"CMY / POT" HARADA Yuma

When you spend more time indoors, it's natural, but you tend to lack change. Having greens indoors not only allows us to share their growth, but also the changes that occur, including the degree of withering when things go wrong, are exciting and real. This CMY (Shimmy) is a chemical change of paper, ink and water, bringing even more small surprises to our green life. And the pun-like product name is also excellent.
