Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary clothing and tools from familiar materials to survive in the struggle against harsh nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture.
In Aomori Prefecture, located at the northernmost tip of Honshu in the Japanese archipelago, a variety of daily tools and techniques have been handed down to survive the harsh winters.
Those tools and techniques have been created through various acts such as "sewing," "stitching," and "joining.
The acts of "sewing" and "joining" are trivial, but they reflect our way of life as they accumulate and take shape over a long period of time.
The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the human being, the stronger their power becomes.
In today's world, where cheap and disposable things are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating things around us by modifying them opens up a new world.

- Japanese Antique Fusuka Textile Art Meiji PeriodLocated in Atlanta, GAA Japanese silk Fukusa panel circa late 19th-early 20th century of Meiji Period. The front was beautifully decorated with Yuzen-zome, a labor intensive resist-dye technique invested by an artist monk Miyazaki Yuzensai (1654 -1736) of Edo period.
