katazome apron

i found two of these katazome aprons at the thrift. 

the text on them says that they are konyakku manufacturer - really classic japanese food. konyakky is a type of potato that has only resistant starch, its made into a kind of hard jelly that japanese people use in their nimono, oden, and other traditional recipes.

i estimate these to be around 50 - 70 years old, and they are in almost new condition. they have been very well stored. 

i cannot verify whether it is or is not true indigo, but the colour is spot on for if it is indigo.
