The many everyday tools that were used as a matter of course until not so long ago. In folk museums (or in the storehouses of rural farmhouses), countless folk tools that are no longer used lie dormant, from things that look somehow familiar to things whose use is a mystery. Captivated by their simple beauty, the author, with the full cooperation of the folk museum in Togakushi, Nagano Prefecture, made this photography book capturing every aspect of the forms and functional beauty of these tools. Farm tools, furniture, clothing, tableware, toys, implements for festivals... These are the very lives of the Japanese of the past. In other words, it is also a valuable record of a culture that is gradually being lost, from daily customs to rituals and events.
