Sentimental Recycling - Pass the Baton Shop Adds Personal Stories to Used Things (GALLERY)
Pass the Baton Shop Adds Personal Stories to Used Things

If you live in Tokyo (or have access to the Internet), a new shop called Pass the Baton lets you give your old things away to other people in a novel and sentimental way.

Pass the Baton’s concept is to preserve the personal culture attached to each item—its backstory. Each item in the shop contains a picture of the owner and a personal story, like how the owner came to own that item, how it’s graced the owner’s life, or expressions of best wishes to the next owner.

Pretty neat, although I'd be pretty bugged out if I bought an item from someone that had an out-of-the-ordinary backstory.
