Research Abstract

The purpose of this research is to consider the lifestyle and living habits, specific for Kyoto (for example-shimatsu, etc.), from the view points of clothing, eating and living customs in order to clarify the way they are transmitted and revived to the next generations.
Clothing style : The concept of 'shimatsu' (thrift) is characteristic for the lifestyle of Kyoto, although people in Kyoto are extravagant in their dressing ('kyo-no-kidaore'). Kyoto women have the attitudes and skills, possessing both of these qualities. Moreover, there are 'Shikkaya' merchants who are related to both sides. They handle all clothing-related processes from care and recycling of kimonos to creation of kimono fashion. They also educate people in Kyoto in both 'shimatsu' and fashion trends. Therefore 'Shimatsu' expresses not only the mood of people in Kyoto, but also the structure of the clothing industry in Kyoto.
