Vtg Japanese Maekake Canvas Apron Indigo Dye Traditional Chainlink Pattern Japan

Beloved by Japanese shopkeepers and merchants since the Edo period, maekake are more than just your regular kitchen apron.

This maekake Japanese apron is traditionally woven on a 100-year old loom by skilled craftsmen in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. Using a highly specialized weaving method developed by one of the few remaining traditional makers of Japanese aprons, the 100% cotton canvas fabric is extremely durable yet comfortable.

The maekake is dyed in a traditional Japanese indigo color, which is fade-resistant. Emblazoned with Hokusai's iconic 'The Great Wave', it's a classic design that showcases centuries of Japanese art and history.

The maekake apron is also tied with an iconic red and white belt for easy fastening and wraps around to fit the shape of each wearer. It helps support your lower back whether you are working in the kitchen, the workshop or the outdoors.
