Unlike an apron that is tied at the waist, an apron is tied tightly around the hip bones (slightly below the belt), stabilizing the pelvis.
The big difference is that it protects the lower back by reducing the strain on the lower back when carrying heavy objects.
For this reason, it was popular among people whose jobs involved carrying heavy objects, such as liquor stores, rice stores, and miso stores.

The looms used are both shuttle looms, but the thickness of the threads used is different.
No. 1 aprons are woven with thread that is twice as thick as No. 2 aprons, so they are thick, strong, and long-lasting.

Our aprons are dyed with reactive dyes at a highly skilled dyeing factory in Tokyo, so the colors hardly fade at all. Our ready-made aprons also meet the washing fastness standards of department stores.

You can simply wash it in the washing machine with detergent.
However, please wash without fabric softener to prevent the printed parts from fading.
Also, use a low spin cycle and hang to dry in the shade.
(If you dehydrate it too hard, the fabric will be too thick and wrinkles will be difficult to remove.)

Both the No. 1 apron and the No. 2 apron are made from 100% cotton fabric and string.

In rare cases, the weft threads may come loose at the bottom of the apron.
Gently pull the fabric to the edge and cut the thread with scissors to stop the fraying.
The "edge" tag on the bottom right also acts as a fraying prevention device, so it will not fray any further.
