The world that begins with waste materials and offcuts
There is a small museum in the corner of the 4th floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya. Correspondents also introduced an exhibition of "Lucking decorations" on the tourist association correspondent blog.
This time, I've seen "Creative Reuse" to commemorate the 190th anniversary of Takashimaya's founding, but I've never seen it. It is exhibited under the theme of reuse.
What is Creative Reuse?
It is to carefully classify and organize waste materials and scraps that come out during the production, distribution, and consumption processes, and use them as materials to make new use of them.
The first base in Japan, IDEA R LAB, which was opened by Hiroko Otsuki, a museum education planner, renovated an old private house, is located in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, and is being spread throughout the country through workshops and other activities.
I've seen it, but I've never seen it.
The delicate beauty of discarded light bulbs is an insect accessory. I think it's going to take off.
It's a bag that fusna was reborn. It is popular because the fun of shape and color is used in various things such as pouches and accessories.
When you collect and sew the stuffed toy, it becomes a cute chair like this.
I've seen a collection of waste materials and offcuts, and things that cannot be used alone. What I've never seen is the appearance of being born into another thing by combining or connecting them.
New relationships between things and people
Japanese people have always been good at using tools as something and using them for different purposes. Looking at the neatly sorted materials, such DNA was stimulated, and I suddenly picked it up and felt that I could make something.
Mr. Mio Hiyoshi of Takashimaya Museum TOKYO, thank you for teaching me various things.
