Mending and Living: A Deliberate and Joyful Life Style That Seems Difficult at First Glance
We will convey the value placed on items from the Meiji to the Showa era through the tools passed down in the Sugimoto family.
The stone mortar for making glue, the traditional fabric stretching method called “shinshibari,” sewing boxes, and the handmade small boxes and tools adorned our lives.
These tools used in practice will evoke wisdom and a sense of playfulness in our current lives.
