Increase! ■ What is "upcycling"? "Upcycling" is the recycling of products that have a higher value than the original products. Today, it is attracting attention as a sustainable approach. We reuse beautiful Japanese kimono fabrics to make various products. We make the lives of people all over the world beautiful with the kimono upcycling. During the Edo period, kimonos were repeatedly unraveled, washed, and remade, and have been worn for many years. And those that couldn't be worn were remodeled into children's play clothes, baby diapers, and clogs. Since ancient times, the Japanese have thought that things also have a life, so they had the spirit of valuing Japanese things. And those who have a "spirit of valuing things" are rich in heart. Akizakura is working on an "upcycling" to enrich the hearts of people around the world. ■ Why is it a "kimono"? The Japanese have been wearing kimono for a long time. Kimono like today was born in the Heian period (794-1192). However, it is now used as a fertilizer for chests of drawers. The amount is said to be 800 million. We hand over the kimono from grandmother to mother and from mother to daughter. So you can't throw it away and you can't sell it at a cheap price. Can you throw away such precious clothes that have a strong bond with your family? In addition, kimono is one of the traditional Japanese crafts, and each piece is carefully made by professional craftsmen using techniques that have been handed down from ancient times. By feeling the technique and feelings, you can feel the charm of kimono more. Kimono is not just "clothes", as it is described as "art that can be worn". I want to preserve the beauty of kimono made by craftsmanship for posterity. ■ Why is it craftsmanship? All Akizakura kimono caps are made by skilled hat craftsmen in Kyoto. Made by craftsmen who have been making hats for many years, it is not only beautiful, but also durable and long-lasting. Enjoy your daily life with a beautiful cap that makes the best use of Japanese craftsmanship. In addition, the number of craftsmen is decreasing year by year due to mechanization. However, machines cannot make products that give a feeling of human warmth. We ask craftsmen to make products because we also want to support the craftsmen who are working with all their heart.
