Fabrics That Live for a Hundred Years
It is said that silk kimono fabric can last for a century, passed down through generations before returning to nature’s cycle. A grandmother’s kimono, once worn for outings, becomes an everyday garment for her daughter. Later, it is transformed into recreational or evening wear for children. Unused kimonos find new life as dolls and toys, then as household cleaning cloths. Eventually, they are burned, their ashes enriching the soil as fertilizer—completing their journey back to the earth.
A single piece of fabric serves a purpose until its very end.
As environmental concerns continue to grow, we must look to the past for sustainable solutions. By embracing the natural cycles that have existed for centuries, we can rediscover answers hidden in history, guiding us toward a more conscious and responsible future.
