This old-fashion and somewhat humorous apron is originally from Wakayama prefecture of Japan. A local whole sale grocer who belonged to Wakayama City Whole Sale Market wore this type of apron almost as an "uniform" to advertise their business. What this apron distinguishes from many other types is a bold graphic art of a bunch of bananas, along the three katakana-writing of 'Ba-Na-Na' at the top. This apron definitely was an eye-catching piece to wear. It is a nostalgic piece ...click for details

This lovely cotton-canvas sakabukuro (or sakebukuro) is dyed with persimmon juice (kaki-shibu) which creates a natural brown color due to the tanning in the juice. This type of bag is used in the traditional sake refinement, separating the sake "mash" into sake and the left over called sake-kasu. These bags are highly collectable in both Japan and overseas and the collectors generally find charm in the "rough" conditions of the textile and lovely patches and mending.
