In IE Core Class, I watched a short movie about recycle shop in Omote-sando.
The name of this shop is PASS THE BATON. This shop is unique because we can know the story of every item. In general, we can't know the story of those items in recycle shop. Sometimes, I go to recycle shop near my house but there are no means to know the story.
Knowing about profile and contemplation who had the item is very good. What I want to know is not only the price. Just looking recycled goods is not interesting. With knowing story, we can enjoy shopping in recycled shop.
In this shop, there are not only recycled goods but also original goods and old clothes. For example, package cup with rusk, remake bag with printing and embroidery. Knowing the background of goods and remaking them into better goods. I think this method is attractive.
In Edo period, there were custom of recycling. It was surprising. These days, there are many goods. Maybe we are richer than people living in Edo. However, we tend to throw away goods and get newer one. In this situation, the story of item end and break off. The owner of this shop to mix many stories of goods and create next culture.
I often go Omote-sando but didn't know there were this shop. I thought recycle shop is just buy used goods with cheap price. That image was gone. This shop seems interesting because I feel as if I can talk to the owner of item. I want to go this shop someday.
