The situation continues to be what I would call a mask frenzy. It has been a few months now, and I still cannot buy a mask without stress. I wonder if there are people who are planning to make money by using the crisis as an excuse.
Who would have expected that masks would have attracted so much attention? Even in countries where the custom of wearing masks was almost unheard of, it is likely that a unique mask culture will be fostered in the future.
So, is Japan an advanced country in masks? Japan is a country of advanced masks. Among the numerous options available, I would like to push for the use of masks that make you feel good. Wearing a mask itself has a negative connotation, but if you are going to wear it every day, why not change your perception of its value as well?
So, I know I'm late to the party, but this is the mask that Huinam recommends.
No.1_The Masks
Art and masks, in fact, went hand in hand.
Someone somewhere once said that the T-shirt is the best canvas for art, and now the mask has become one of the artist's areas of expression.

The first 13 artists are a very hot lineup, even in terms of huinamu. Masks designed by the leading artists of the art scene will be available at the online store from the beginning of May.
Masks produced at domestic factories use polyester-processed yarn directly kneaded with silver ions from domestic manufacturers, which is excellent in antibacterial and deodorant properties and can be washed repeatedly and used over and over again.

I think there are many people who have had a certain aversion to black masks, but I would rather wear a black mask with this "NARUMASK" mask! Because it is the most beautiful!
The reason why this black color is so good is that it has a matte texture in spite of its techie look, and the material is "46% polyester, 42% nylon, 12% polyurethane. The material is 46% polyester, 42% nylon, and 12% polyurethane. It can be used repeatedly if carefully hand-washed with a neutral detergent.
The "F" series by NARUMASK is a sports mask with a new micronet filter structure that removes pollen and dust in the air, and is also effective as a running mask. It is also effective as a running mask.
If you are searching for "running masks," this one is definitely better.

No.3_SOUBI BY TAKASHI TESHIMA
Specifications required for the future.
It is not difficult to imagine that all values will change before and after Corona, and clothing is no exception.
A fashion and product brand based on the concept of "protecting against mental and physical anxiety and threats, and being prepared by dressing up.SOUBI BY TAKASHI TESHIMA〉.
Inspired by PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such as masks and protective clothing, we create menswear with the theme of "dress and prepare" while incorporating details and materials as fashion.
The brand will be launched in September 2019, which is kind of prescient. SOUBI BY TAKASHI TESHIMA" has designed a DIY MASK.
This mask fits the face three-dimensionally by simply overlapping two rectangles diagonally and sewing them together. You can adjust it to fit your face by changing the length and width of the rectangles and the angle of overlapping. Patterns (stencils) are also available.This pagePlease try to make it, as it is available at
As an extra feature, we also introduced a shell parka made of Tyvek, a material used in protective clothing.
againWTAPS®" was also introduced on "AH.H"!But it seems that the demand for this type of product will increase in the future.

No.4_ANALOG LIGHTING
What fashion can do.
Many fashion brands are producing masks at this time. In doing research for this article, I was particularly impressed with "ANALOG LITHING.
Each ¥2,000+TAX
The design concept of the masks was to convey the excitement of wearing masks every day through fashion.
As they say, "We designed this mask not to hide or cure a disease or something bad, but as a fashion item that can be enjoyed as much as possible. Ugly! I am very happy with the result.
However, there are no corners left unturned when it comes to manufacturing. The inside is made of a breathable mesh material, and the sewing is done by a sewing company in Kita-ku, Tokyo, that has been in business for more than 40 years.
In the past, the term "masks that can be used as accessories" might have seemed a bit far-fetched, but not in the future. This concept will become the norm.

No.5_Butcher Asimoto Club
A gem that brings masks into everyday life.
Lastly, I would like to introduce a mask that seems to be the most "easy to match" among the five masks I picked up this time.
A hat factory brand produced by designer Shoko Tsukita.Butcher Asimoto ClubThree types of masks produced and sold by the company: raw silk, Okayama Kurashiki denim, and camouflage.
¥1,000+TAX each
What do you think? I think that the mask can be accepted in a very natural way, without being conspicuous, even if it is matched with one's usual attire.
Available in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL), the S size in the photo is for babies.
The pleated design makes it easy to fit the face and can be made as large as desired by the degree of widening. It also has wires made of different materials in two places to make it easier to breathe while keeping it snug against the nose.
The lining is made of skin-friendly single gauze for safety and security.
We will probably have to continue to deal with viral infections. At such times, these masks, which gently accompany us in our daily lives, will help us live comfortably.
