OSUSUME OF THE WEEK: Maekake/Homaekake Aprons

maekake/Homaekake has been developed around the 15th century for multiple functions:

(1) To prevent dirt and injury
(2) To protect the back
(3) To protect from heat
(4) As an advertisement of the store

(For more detailed functions, please go to our Maekake listings.)
