Inspired by the garments worn by Japanese firefighters in the Edo period, this robe is made from a 150-year-old Swiss Catholic Bible to fight the demons of destruction. The intricate paperwork is double-layered and stuffed with a padded material to resist the heat. Holy pictures and ecclesiastical amulets are accessories to hide from the witch hunters.
