MAEKAKE - UKIYO-E SHARAKU APRON
This maekake apron bears the name of the famous ukiyo-e artist Sharaku. The character on the apron is his portrait of a kabuki character "Edobe."
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.
