A city made by hand.... and rubber

The goods on display are made by hand, in a city that was entirely made by hand a thousand years ago and survives into the 21st century as a lving museum.

The raw material for these crafted goods is the discard of a sophisticated manufacturing process that makes tires.

 

Visitors on tires from afar have no use for these goods but they often wonder what's to become of the mountains of discarded tires that their countries produce.

The craftsman's livelihood depends on thie waste.
