Saikei

Okay, so you know how sometimes you play with little toy trees and make a pretend forest? Saikei is kind of like that, but on a bigger scale and with real plants!

People who like sai-what-now will get a big tray, like a big baking tray, and fill it with special soil that is really good for growing plants. Then they will pick different plants, like little trees, flowers, and bushes, and carefully place them in the soil.

But that's not all! They also add little rocks, pebbles, and even tiny buildings or animals to make it look like a real little world.

Sometimes, they will even add little rivers or ponds with real water! And they will make sure to take really good care of it by watering the plants and giving them the right nutrients, so they can grow big and strong.

Then, they will look at their saikei creation and feel happy because it's like their own little world that they made with their own hands. It's like having a piece of nature inside your own home!
