DIY: honbachi book flowerpot

by Johnny on June 19, 2009

Got some books piling up in the corner just collecting dust? Turn them into flower pots! The honbachi, or book pot, was designed by graphic design agency Tokyo Pistol. I love how the moisture corrodes the pages and the book takes on a life of its own! You can also purchase one at Mitsubai Tokyo.
