It's "Polytrichum" and we have the same thing growing around here, especially in the woods and near the lake. Chickadees prefer it to build their neat little nests. You can see great vistas of it at the Giouji Temple there in Kyoto. I have a very nice shot of the temple grounds in a wonderful book by George Schenk (Timber Press) on <a href='http://www.amazon.com/Moss-Gardening-Including-Liverworts-Miniatures/dp/0881923702' rel="nofollow">Moss Gardening</a> There is indeed something calming about moss carpets. <span class='jfriedl'>I don't know which shocked me more, when my mother started to use email, or when she gave me advice on sights to see in Kyoto! Giouji Temple is on the other side of the city, in the beautiful Arashiyama area. The forecast is for rain for the next four days, but if I get a chance, I and my camera will have to <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2007-06-16/491' rel="nofollow">pay it a visit</a>. —Jeffy</span> Jeff, actually that IS moss in the photo.
