Product description

There are motifs that endure through the centuries without aging. Mount Fuji at sunrise is one of them. In Japan, this image has a name: engimono, an auspicious sign that one hangs, wears, or offers to mark a new beginning.

On this maekake woven in Nagoya, Fuji appears as a negative space in the indigo cotton, understated and immediately recognizable. The apron itself is one of the oldest items in daily Japanese life: tied around the hips since the Edo period by artisans and merchants starting their workday. That gesture has not changed.

This apron can be worn in the kitchen, in the workshop, or simply hung on a hook as a quiet reminder that every day can begin well, if you give yourself the means.

Care: cotton woven in Nagoya; machine wash at a maximum of 30°C and do not tumble dry, to maintain the density of the fabric and the clarity of the motif over time.
