"Nagoya Co-op" Vintage Maekake Apron
"Nagoya Co-op" Vintage Maekake Apron
Great Logo
- Ships from NY
- One-of-a-kind
- Sourced from Japan
This listing is for a vintage Japanese apron called a maekake, used by shop keepers and merchants to advertise their goods.
They are usually simple, single-color canvas-weight cotton with a crest, logo, or company name in large characters on the front along with the address and phone number. Some - but not all - are reversible. The long orange, blue and white ties go around the waist and there is usually a row of fringe at the bottom.
This maekake is from Nagoya and the kanji in the center circle means "cooperation", so we assume it's the apron from a co-op. Same on the back.
We suspect this apron pre-dates 1968, when Japan updated its phone number system and discontinued using non-numeric characters. The kanji plus the digits at the bottom of the apron are the shop's phone number.
