Scraps, offcuts, old cloth, boro—materials born in the making process, often shapeless and unremarkable. Yet, through the imagination of makers who piece them together, they are given new life and purpose. What can be created by making the most of what already exists? In facing the material with a playful spirit, each resulting piece carries an indescribable charm. Similar, yet entirely unique—each item is one of a kind. We've invited creators who make the everyday items used by hitonoto to contribute small lifestyle and interior pieces for this exhibition.
