We take the pockets on our clothing for granted nowadays, but when did they first appear, and what kinds of transformations might they have gone through to take on their current shape? This lecture will trace the history of clothing through the lens of pockets, navigated by Hiroshi Narumi, who specializes in sociology and fashion studies. By learning about the history of the pocket, which we use without a thought everyday, perhaps you will acquire a new perspective on your daily style.

Guest: Hiroshi Narumi (Professor, Kyoto Women’s University / Sociology, Fashion research)
