Life and Wisdom of the Showa Era

What do you do with old clothes that you no longer wear?
Do you give them away to someone else or recycle them? Yes! That’s a good idea too.

In the past, Japanese people used to revive old kimonos, yukata, sweaters, etc. into something else by themselves.
That is how they were used up until the very end.
The reason why kimonos and tenugui are made of simple square cloth is to be used repeatedly and carefully.

First, let’s work together to revive yukata.
What kind of cloth is it made of?
Let’s also touch old cloths that have been patched and mended.
What kind of people used and mended them? Let’s imagine.

What should we make with the revived cloth? Let’s think about it together.

By experiencing the wisdom and ingenuity of the Showa period, such as “hataki” and “fukuro,” we may find ideas and techniques that can be applied to our daily lives.
