The catalyst was organizing the kimonos left by my grandmother. When I tried to wear them, the size just didn't fit, and I faced the reality that I couldn't wear them as they were. When I took them to a recycle shop, thinking I had no choice but to let them go, the price offered was so low that it left me with an inexpressible sadness. It's a shame for things that have been carefully passed down to be buried away like this. Because I love kimonos, I kept thinking, "How can I make them usable by someone else again?" That's how I arrived at the form of a half-collar. By carefully cutting out the good parts and giving them a new role, they can live again in our attire. I started this activity thinking that such a cycle could be created. For a long time, I thought white collars were sufficient for half-collars, but once I started, I found it to be a truly enjoyable and deep world. I would be happy if I could share this sentiment with others who love kimonos. And I hope that even one more person will enjoy wearing kimonos. There may be some shortcomings, but I appreciate your understanding.
