This exhibition contained different pieces and some whole garments that was originally created in Japan by poor residents, that over the years made their clothes using parts of old clothing, cloths, cotton and denims and cleverly sewn and patch worked them together as shown underneath. This exhibition brought my attention to how we as people use clothes and any type of fabric for granted as a lot of us simply throw clothes away or burn them after they don't fit or just simply is not in fashion any more. I think this idea of creating new garments out of old ones is very liberating and would love to try it sometime. Personally I would have rather liked to see more of the garments in full rather than some of them that were cut to fit over a canvas.
