we watched the film about recycling, and it was a good opportunity for me to think about it.
the shop in the omotesando named "Pass the Baton" is a consignment shop where it sells the antique and recycled products which the customers brought or long time unsold.
the special point of this shop is that when the customers neither individuals or companies bring the products to the shop for the recycle, the owner asks for the pictures, simple profiles, and stories of products brought. this shop is also special cos, for example, they sell the cup of setoyaki which had been unsold and sat in the boxes for 40 years stick with the rusks and made it such a good product as a new type of gifts. The owner of this shop is hoping that people having their own history and story would exchange them through the recycled or upcycled products, and that could lead to the next new culture.
