#0yentravelnovember Hello, we are Rebuilding Center Japan (Ribisen). We run a building materials recycling shop in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, selling old wood and antique tools. We visit the demolition and cleaning of houses and factories when landlords contact us directly (or bring them to the store) and rescue (take back) items that have lost their place. Based on the handling of antiques, Ribisen is also a trial team that re-enjoys today's society under the philosophy of REBUILD NEW CULTURE. Correctly convey the essential value of agricultural products and non-standard products that no longer meet consumer needs. Update the way homes are passed down. Value and visualize the "mottainai" (wastefulness) that arises in the process of making things. By doing so, we hope to reexamine things that are being thrown away and cultures that are being forgotten, and create a system that will once again enrich someone's life.
