Little monkey

A world that begins with waste materials and scraps

There is a small museum in the corner of the 4th floor of Nihonbashi Takashimaya Main Building. Correspondents were also introduced on the Tourism Association Correspondent Blog to the exhibition of "Decorative String".

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?

The purpose is to carefully classify and organize waste materials and scraps that come out in the process of production, distribution, and consumption, and use them as materials to make new use of them.

IDEA R LAB, the first base in Japan, opened by museum education planner Hiroko Otsuki, a renovated old private house, is located in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, and is spreading 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 becomes an insect accessory. I'm going to fly.

A world that begins with waste materials and scraps

It is a bag that fasna has been reborn. The fun of shape and color, such as pouches and accessories, is used in various things and is popular.

Collect stuffed animals and sew them into such cute chairs.

What I've seen is a collection of waste materials and scrap materials that cannot be used alone. What I have never seen is the appearance of being born into another thing by combining and connecting them.

New relationship between things and people

New relationship between goods and people A world that begins with waste materials and scraps

Japanese people have always been good at using tools as something and using them for other purposes. Looking at the beautifully sorted materials, such DNA was stimulated, and suddenly I felt that I could make something myself.

Mr. Mio Hiyoshi of Takashimaya Museum TOKYO, thank you for teaching me various things.
