Using many metres of plastic twine, a local coffee shop owner has trained a flowering creeper up and down both sides of the paved lane outside their shop.
Even though seemingly random, the complex web of twine takes a non-trivial amount of time, thought and effort to construct.
The web has been prepared to guide an independent creeper along the fence line of a vacant lot, creating a lush green waist high curtain.
I especially like the way the corners have been densely woven (images 8,9,10), enabling thick growth and thus a cool and shady habitat for insects, cats and other animals.
Materials: Plastic Twine
Location: Akishima, Tokyo
This is a great idea! It sure must have been a lot of work, but the results are great.

Yes, I really love this – using very simple and light materials the construction takes on a impressive scale, becoming a major intervention – yet one that is very temporary and reversible. Now it has almost entirely withered away…until next year.
