MAEKAKE - UKIYO-E SHARAKU APRON
This maekake apron is named after 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 is worn around the hips to protect the body.
Our maekake aprons are woven using a 100-year-old shuttle loom made by Toyota.
