What is "Topiary" in the first place?
In a word, topiary is "plant art." According to the definition by the NPO Japan Topiary Association, it is "an object created by artificially and three-dimensionally shaping plants."
Do you remember Edward trimming trees into various shapes with his scissor hands in the movie "Edward Scissorhands"? That is topiary. Also, the characters shaped from plants you see at Disneyland, those are also topiary.
## In a life coexisting with technology
In recent years, with the evolution of AI and robotics, autonomous driving technology and delivery robots have gradually become familiar presences. Technology is naturally blending into the casual scenery we see in the city. What was once talk of the future is now becoming part of everyday life, gently accompanying people's lives.
What if plants started guiding people, conversing, and having a role in the city?
We thought about whether we could realize such a topiary—somewhat nostalgic, yet making you feel the future.
