Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Traditional Japanese Room, Tailor Workshop

Tue, December 14, 2010, by Muza-chan
There are a few places in Tokyo where you can visit century-old buildings featuring a restored original traditional interior. One of these places is the Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum, where besides houses, you can also visit several shops and workshops.

This is a tailor's workshop from the beginning of the Taisho Period (1912–1926). On the left we can see the shelves with materials and a very old sewing machine. To the right, there's a living room with a still unfinished kimono (a better view here).
At the time, the workshop was also the master's house, where he lived together with his apprentices, working and teaching them the craftsmanship...
