MUJI's lightweight down and knitwear snuggle up together, a lifestyle for four people.

We hear here and there that "MUJI" clothes are useful and excellent. . even from fashion enthusiasts. Among this year's lineup, the 750-fill-power down that rivals that of serious outdoor brands and the wool sweaters made from a blend of high-altitude yak hair are very good. Moreover, in an effort to optimize the price of everyday items that support our daily lives, prices have been reduced compared to last season, which is a welcome development. The face is simple, but the contents are of high quality. MUJI's lightweight down jackets and knitwear, which are a perfect fit for the word "quality and solidity," will be presented to you together with four people with different lifestyles.

Brands that care about the environment are trustworthy.

Lightweight Pocketable Stand Collar Down Jacket ¥5,990 in TAXOther personal effects of the stylist

You are from Hachijojima Island, is it cold in Tokyo in the fall and winter?

Sasamoto: Hachijojima is warmer than Tokyo. . though it is better to have a down coat just in case. Last time, it snowed for the first time in a long time , and there was a big fuss about it.

Do you know anyone from Hachijojima?

Sasamoto: This is Mr. Jiro Konami, a photographer. . For the first time, it was Mr. Jiro who photographed me as a model.

What is Hachijojima like?

Sasamoto: If a 100 yen store opens, people will line up for it , and there are no convenience stores. All the stores close at 1:00 a.m. . The food is good, the stars are beautiful, and there is nothing but nature. The food is good, the stars are beautiful, and there is nothing but nature . . I would like to go home, but it will be difficult for a while because of Corona.

MUJI: Did you know about MUJI when you first came here (to the main island)?

Sasamoto: Yes, I do. I have a lot of sundries, pencil cases, notebooks, socks, etc. . I used to wear shoes a lot. I used to use Aron Alpha to hold the worn-out parts for skateboarding. The soles were not too thick, so I could feel the board, and it was easy to skateboard.

A. How often do you skateboard now?

Sasamoto: About 4-5 times a week. After the store, we all get together and go skiing. I am also addicted to fishing.

Where do you fish?

Sasamoto: . I often fish at the mouths of the Arakawa and Sumida rivers near the sea. In the rivers near the sea, I fish according to the ebb and flow of the tide, and the other day I caught a big sea bass (sea bass) of 70 cm. . The water is not very clean, though, so I catch and release it without eating it.

What do you think of MUJI items?

Sasamoto: . today's knit and down are simple and easy to use. . Since I usually skateboard, I don't usually dress that neatly because it gets dirty and rips easily. However, when I go out to dinner with a girl, I dress a little nicer, and today's knit is perfect. . Also, I often wear a down coat when I skateboard. It gets hot quickly when skateboarding, so I don't want a thick down, but a thin and light down like this one.

The yak/wool blend knitwear also utilizes natural cycles to secure the hair for its raw materials. The down is also made with animal welfare in mind.

Sasamoto: I love Sakana-kun, and I checked out the video of him speaking at the Diet before. He talked about the problem of microplastics and the impact of global warming on the oceans, etc., and I felt that I should really take care of the oceans as well. I don't litter, and I pick up trash on my way to fishing. Also, if I have friends who throw garbage away, I will be sure to warn them.

That's because you know the ocean through fishing, isn't it?

Sasamoto: Yes, that's right. I prefer brands such as MUJI, which are environmentally conscious, and I am sure that I can trust them.
