Translated Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the practices of amateurs producing handicrafts as a hobby. Creativity in everyday life is examined through interviews with women who make accessories as a hobby. According to interviews with them, they started handcrafting and creating accessories, mainly inspired by others and the images of others’ works on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, and by works displayed at handcrafting fairs. Based on these findings, this paper points out the limitations of discussing creativity as a personal attribute and instead approaches creativity from the perspective of networked agency, where creativity emerges through connections with others.
