Hiroshima Workwear Store

The stage is set at a workwear store in Hiroshima frequented by craftsmen from various industries. The store offers sturdy, user-friendly tools and denim workwear, which is currently popular. A man who runs an interior design company orders workwear embroidered with his company name and name. “The embroidery on the chest serves as my business card,” he says. While a veteran struggles with labor shortages at construction sites, a young person from a completely different industry has chosen the path of carpentry. In an era where “how we work” is being questioned, we asked those who sometimes face danger while working, “What does it mean to work?”
