MAEKAKE - SHIBORI TORNADO DYE

A maekake apron with the traditional Arimatsu shibori tie-dye from Nagoya. Dyed using the tatsumaki (tornado) technique on No. 1 canvas, which is the highest quality woven cotton.

The Maekake is a traditional apron used since the Edo period. It serves to protect the body by tying around the hips.

Our maekake aprons are woven using a 100-year-old shuttle loom made by Toyota.
