PROFILE

Momona Otsuka was born in 1997. After studying fashion abroad in the U.K. under the "Tobitate! Study Abroad Japan" program, she began to question the social issues surrounding clothing and began to rethink the meaning of long-lasting clothing production.
After graduating from International Christian University, she moved to Kamikatsu Town, Tokushima Prefecture, and started working at the Kamikatsu Zero-Waste Center, WHY, which opened in May 2020. Living in a small town with a population of 1,500 in the mountains, she works daily with the aim of realizing a recycling-oriented society, using garbage as a starting point.
