After being transported into a 19th-century Edo painting, a university student discovers everyday sustainable practices from history to bring home to modern Japan.
When a university student struggling with an environmental studies assignment searches for inspiration for an assignment at an art gallery, she is magically transported into a painting and lands in 19th-century Japan. In Edo, today’s Tokyo, she witnesses a range of everyday sustainable practices – using ashes in the dyeing process, fertilizing fields with night soil, repurposing used kimonos into towels and rags – that helped the country overcome environmental collapse.
