■Straw material is highly breathable and ideal for sunshades
The material used is "Mugiwara Sanada," which is made by hand-weaving seven wheat stalks. Straw hats cannot be folded, which makes them somewhat inconvenient to carry, but they have many charms that are unique to straw hats. These are the texture and coolness that only a natural material can provide. Wheat straw shines slightly when exposed to sunlight. This is a unique feature of straw, as it is not an artificial material. The coolness of straw has been proven by the fact that many farmers still use it, but the fibers of the stalks themselves have countless invisible holes that are thought to act as air holes after drying. In addition, because the material is a little hard, the brim does not droop easily even if it is long, making it useful for sunshades.
■ Tanaka Hat Shop, founded in 1880 - a long-established store with over 100 years of history
Straw hats are a traditional craft item from Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. Currently, there are few factories in Japan that can mass-produce them, and among them, Tanaka Hat Shop is a long-established shop that boasts over 100 years of history and tradition. Straw hats are made using a unique sewing method in which seven stalks of wheat are woven together and then hand-sewn into a circle by craftsmen. Straw, a natural material, is breathable and perfect for shade, making it an essential hat for the summer. Tanaka Hat Shop continues to carefully make each straw hat, which is popular among both men and women of all ages, using traditional methods.
