Product description
The Great Wave off Kanagawa is the most reproduced Japanese image in the world. Woodblock printed by Hokusai around 1831, as part of the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, it has crossed oceans and centuries without losing an ounce of its power. This is not a decorative image; it is an image of tension, of power, of the moment just before.
Seeing it woven into the cotton of a maekake changes something. The apron becomes what it has always been once again: a work object, tied on before starting, worn by those who do. Hokusai’s fishermen, the artisans of Nagoya, and now you in your kitchen, before you cook.
This apron is sold at the British Museum. It is not a souvenir gadget: it is a seriously crafted object, with a motif that deserves to be worn.
Care: cotton woven in Nagoya, machine wash at 30°C maximum and do not tumble dry, to maintain the fabric's density and the sharpness of the pattern over time.
