I love to travel, but it’s not allowed nowadays. My and my wife’s home became more important as we both work at home. Before the situation, I’ve been putting artificial greens to get relaxed instead of real greens so that we can leave our home for weeks:

It was nice — But I found that real greens work better after putting a small ivy on my desk:

Because it grows little by little and we enjoy it — this small enjoyment is quite effective to relieve our stay-home stress in the state of emergency in Japan. So, I decided to put a larger one: fresh eucalyptus branches. They are so beautiful.

It costs about 2,500 yen (25USD). It turned our kitchen into like a cafe.

On a sunny day, I move it to the side of the window.

Lovely. They give us a tiny bliss for a moment.
