How it works

  1. 1. Find a ceramic Kodama hidden in the wild and scan the NFC tag on its base.
  2. 2. Discover its pose and personality, and read what past finders wrote.
  3. 3. Leave your own message and photo, then release it back into the wild.

Words from wanderers

  • This project made my whole week — found Mori on a hike and it completely made my day!
