草www for plants

thingiverse

The planter and single-flower vase are modeled after the Japanese net slang equivalent of the English word "lol".The planter is designed with the kanji character "草 (kusa)" meaning grass, and the single-flower vase is the letter "W" of the alphabet.History of 草 and w in Japan:In Japanese net slang, the kanji character "笑 (wara)," meaning "lough," was originally added to the end of a sentence to express a funny sentiment. In the following era, the emotion was expressed simply with its initial letter "w" instead of the kanji. In very fanny cases, more than one "w" was added, like "www". In the next stage, the kanji character "草," meaning "grass," came to be used to express fanny, as the multiple "w "s in a row looked visually like grass growing. It is also common to use both kanji and alphabetic characters together, as in "草www". People also say "これは草" (This is grass/This is funny) or "草生える" (grassy/funny) in response to interesting posts or comments.With this background, I came up with the idea of actually planting grass on these letters.If you have Japanese friends, I am sure they will burst out laughing while saying "Kusa" when you show it to them.
