Product description

The kitsune is one of the oldest figures in Japanese folklore. A nine-tailed fox, messenger of the goddess Inari, and guardian of shrines, it has appeared masked in matsuri, in manga, and in the dreams of Japanese children for centuries.

Stéphane Casier grew up with Batman, Spider-Man, and Super Sentai. Masked heroes have always fascinated him. In 2017, he created "Great Kitsune," an imaginary wrestler wearing a fox mask, with his daughter Ina Kitsune by his side. Five years later, the mask maker HIROMITSU crafted the mask for him out of genuine wood, based on his illustration. The circle is complete.

This maekake features this character woven into Nagoya cotton. A figure born from a dialogue between two cultures: one that has been manufacturing since the Edo period, and one that has been drawing since childhood.

Care: Woven cotton from Nagoya; machine wash at a maximum of 30°C and do not tumble dry, to maintain the density of the fabric and the sharpness of the design over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who created the kitsune design on this apron?

The Great Kitsune design was created by French illustrator Stéphane Casier (Yeaaah! Studio) in 2017, inspired by the kitsune, a figure of Japanese folklore.

Is the mask shown a real object?

Yes, a real wooden mask was made by the Japanese mask maker HIROMITSU, based on the character imagined by Stéphane Casier.

How do I look after this cotton apron?

Gentle wash, without hot water, bleach or fabric softener, separately from other textiles; slight shrinkage is possible on the first wash.

How to use it?

A maekake is a short Japanese apron worn at the waist, once worn by craftspeople, merchants and brewers.
What it is for: you tie it around your hips to cook, make or work, and it protects your clothes from splashes.
Tie it around your hips in the kitchen, in a workshop, or simply at home: the maekake has been worn this way since the Edo period.
The 260 cm waist tie fits up to a 95 cm waist.
Machine wash at 30 °C maximum, separately, with no bleach or fabric softener and no tumble dryer. Slight shrinkage is possible after the first wash.
Idea: it is also an original gift for someone who loves cooking or Japan.
Good to know: wash at a low temperature, inside out, to preserve the colours of the pattern.
