Arte de Tirar, El - Hardcover

by Nagisa Tatsumi (Author)

After a period of wealth and accumulation, experienced during the boom of the 1960s and 1970s, the Japanese have experienced a phase of convulsion and distancing from consumerism, accompanied by the physical need to free themselves from the useless objects that were piling up in their tiny homes. Throwing things away, however, becomes a complicated operation because it runs up against the old custom of reuse. Thus, every time we throw something away, a little voice arises inside us that tells us: What a waste!
