Eco-ethical way of life learned from Edo
While walking around Nihonbashi Muromachi, I found a nice show window behind YUITO. The name is "Yuto. Eco-Ikimicho". Kimono, Dansen, Uchimizu, and Wind Chimes were introduced as things that were full of earth-friendly ideas in the lives of the people of Edo. There was an exhibition space unique to Nihonbashi where you could learn the wisdom and heart of smart Edo children.
[Kimono] The common people of the Edo period rarely made kimonos from kimonos, and most of them bought kimonos at used clothes shops. I bought the scraps for the scraps, further ash, and the ash buying for fertilizers. In addition, the kimono itself is a clothing that can be used without waste by sewing straight fabrics, and is packed with very excellent ethical wisdom.
[Dan fan] Nihonbashi Horie-cho (now Meikofune-cho) is a town where many fans were created, which has been called the Dansen riverbank since the Edo period. The feature of Edo Dansen is that the tip of a single bamboo is torn into a bone, and the remaining part is used as it is in the handle. A fan made from natural bamboo and Japanese paper, the suppleness of bamboo creates a big wind even with light power.
[Wind chimes] The people of Edo introduced the cool summer without air conditioning from the cool sound and the atmosphere of glass swaying in the wind.
[Uchimizu] It is the wisdom of its predecessors who take environmentally friendly coolness using heat of vaporization, which is said to have spread in earnest in the Edo period.
In the city of Nihonbashi, kimonos, fan fans, Uchimizu and wind chimes naturally blend into Edo. I would like to inherit the wisdom of such eco-friendly and ethical Edokko and connect it to a sustainable society.
