Authentic products with an honest and rootsy feel. [ClaireJohnbullThe deep appeal of the "John Bull" brand is rooted in its keen eye for craftsmanship. John Bull has been releasing a series of "makerhood aprons" since the spring of 2015.

Each season, we produce aprons as tools for craftsmen's work in collaboration with professional masters. These aprons, which boast anonymous functionality without ever making a statement, can be said to be the closest partner to support the work of the craftsmen.

This time, a photo exhibition will focus on the relationship between such makerhood aprons and artisans.

At the root of the apron-making process is a great respect for craftsmen involved in manufacturing. The photographs depict the daily lives of craftspeople who create unique products such as furniture, ceramics, and soaps.

Looking at them carefully, I realize that sometimes the apron speaks more eloquently of a person's character than his or her face. Photographermasa(PHOEBE)If you look at it through the eyes of the "Mere Old Man," you may be able to see a different side of things.

The photo exhibition will be held at each John Bull store. The aprons used for the photo shoot will also be on display during the exhibition. The duration of the exhibition will differ from store to store,this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)Check it out at
