Maekake are a traditional style of Japanese apron from 15 centiries ,
tied at the hips and worn by craftsmen and the staff of certain shops.
For centuries, maekake have been used by people whose work involved standing for prolonged periods or carrying heavy objects.
Maekake can help prevent the back problems caused by such work.
It's said that this stabilizes the body and allows your vital energy and blood to circulate smoothly.
At the same time, it focuses the mind.
We introduce the MAEKAKE's design, history, and culture at 2 places, Consulate General of Japan in New York and KINOKUNIYA Bookstore.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
