About the Item
Antique Japanese Embroidered Apron (Mae-Kake)
This beautiful dark indigo cotton apron has tight sashiko embroidered stitching on both sides, on one side the hemp-leaf (asa no ha) pattern and on the other a geometric step pattern. The intricacy of the stitching and the precision of the design layout is an indication of the embroidery skills of the woman who made this apron. A fine piece of folk art from rural Japan. In very good condition.
