Firefighter’s HIKESIBANTEN with hand sashiko stitching
As a result of our pursuit of coolness, we did not place any pockets and added a loop for netsuke, creating a design that allows each person to attach their favorite netsuke.
It is also a high-end model of the firefighter's long-hanten, stitched by the grandmothers of Otsuchi-cho themselves, and is also the flagship model of Kurosawa's costumes.
Firefighters in the Edo period wore reversible sashiko long and short jackets, but when they went out to work, they wore a plain front, and when they returned home after putting out the fire, they would walk through the wind with their shoulders showing the flashy back.
However, in reality, making a sashiko long and short jacket would be heavy and difficult to wear, so I paired it with two pairs of low-weight jeans and applied sashiko to it.
The front features Kurosawa's characters from Kurosawa's costume, and the back features the cat and dog Fujin and Raijin, bringing back the presence of a firefighter who was a fashion leader in the Edo period.

This hanten is embroidered by hand, stitch by stitch. This is a product that allows you to enjoy the texture of the craftsman's handiwork.
This product comes with a netsuke loop.
Around the Edo period, people would put a string through their obi, put their wallet or cigarette case on one end, and attach something called a netsuke to the other end to prevent their wallet or cigarette case from falling out of their obi.
This netsuke is currently attracting a lot of attention both domestically and internationally.
We often come into contact with netsuke in our costume work, so we thought it would be possible to match it with modern clothing.
I would be happy if you could find your favorite netsuke and enjoy changing this product to your own color.
[Back protection] [Rampaging Noshi]
A long time ago in Japan, there was a custom called Semori.
It is said that a person's soul resides in their back, and that the seams on the back of their kimono serve as ``eyes'' to watch over and protect themselves from evil spirits that may sneak up on them.
At that time, children's kimonos were small and did not have seams on the back, so they added embroidery and decorative stitches to protect the children from monsters.
The pattern ``Rabare Noshi'' is a very auspicious pattern that has the meaning of ``connection between people'', as it is made up of ``Noshi'', an ancient Japanese auspicious charm, tied together. The pattern of this wild noshi is also the pattern of the kimono that my mother, Kazuko Kurosawa, wore during Shichi-Go-San.
As a lucky charm for everyone who purchased the item, this embroidery of Ramada Noshi will be applied to all Kurosawa costume products.
