We watched the short movie about up cycling. The name of the shop is "Pass the Baton" and it's a new type of consignment shop in Omote Sando. what is unique to the shop is there are cards which show the profiles of the people who brought the product, messages and the backstories that each product has. The examples of them are shoes, Kimono and cup with a rusk. The owner of the shop, Masamichi Tohyama, said that every person has their own culture, history and aesthetic then intertwining these stories makes a new culture.
I think this new kind of shop like "Pass the Baton" is really interesting. I didn't even know that there is a shop like this but it tells us we waste things too much and it makes us cherish old things more than before.
