One day last year, we received an email from Mr. K. from Mie, who is said to be a regular reader of our website.
"Is it possible to reproduce the aprons from my family's sake brewery in Mikawa, Aichi Prefecture, where sake was made from 1600 to 1926?"
The inquiry was, "I would like to distribute these when my relatives gather together."
If there are any documents remaining about aprons,
I would love to see it...
When I searched for it, this photo came up.
This is a wonderful photograph from the Taisho era, showing employees tying aprons from the sake brewery to commemorate winning a sake tasting competition.
It was made under the brand name "Katsuhomare."
That's what they say.
We immediately started by creating a design at our company while looking at photos.
We looked at photographs and tried to reproduce the "higemoji" of the time as closely as possible, then produced the aprons using dyeing.
Thank you for sharing your rewarding story.
Since this is the first apron we have reproduced in decades, we decided to send it by courier...
With that in mind, I headed directly to deliver it to Mr. K in Mie.
(Mr. K is on the right and I am on the left.)
All of the relatives were amazed and delighted to see the apron of honor recreated for the first time in decades.
I received an email from Mr. K in Mie saying, "My dream has come true!"
"The apron has been revived after a long time! It's a dream come true."
That's great. Thank you very much!
