Japanese-made ten-gallon hat.
A long-selling model featuring a leather belt and upturned brim.
This wild hat with an upturned brim is also known as a Western hat or a ten-gallon hat.
It features an exquisite curve that blends well with Japanese facial features.
The breathable straw material dissipates heat, so your head won't get hot even during summer outdoor activities.
Unisex
When worn by men, it gives a wild and cool impression, and when worn by women, it gives a mannish and active impression.
It naturally blends with everyday casual clothes, T-shirts, linen shirts, denim, etc.
For women, a great point is that it's easy to wear even with your hair tied up.
A comfortable fit for Japanese people
Tanaka Hat Shop uses wooden molds that are shaped to fit the round head of Japanese people.
This reduces the discomfort of the sides rubbing and provides a deep, stable fit.
"Straw" material with excellent breathability, ideal for sun protection
Straw hats cannot be folded, which makes them a little inconvenient to carry,
but they have many unique charms.
These include the texture and coolness unique to natural materials.
Straw glitters slightly when exposed to sunlight.
This is a unique characteristic of straw, as it is not an artificial material.
Its coolness is proven by the fact that many farmers still use it,
as the stem fibers themselves have countless invisible holes,
which are thought to act as air holes after drying.
Also, because it is a slightly stiffer material, the brim does not easily droop even when made long,
making it useful for sun protection.
Even with the upturned brim, the brim is longer than usual, providing sun protection.
Additionally, the chin strap is sewn on from the beginning, making it ideal for trekking and outdoor activities.
The buckle part uses a brass-colored buckle.
The chin strap adjustment part is also made of genuine cowhide, showing attention to detail.
Straw hats are made from natural materials with good breathability, and thanks to a unique sewing method,
their UV cut rate (approx. 99%) is extremely high, making them beloved from ancient times to the present.
Established in 1880 - A long-established shop with over 100 years of history
"Straw hats" are a traditional craft of 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 company boasting over 100 years of history and tradition.
Straw hats are made using a unique sewing method where 7 strands of straw are braided into one,
and then individually sewn in a circular pattern by artisans.
"Straw," a natural material, is breathable and perfect for sun protection, making it an essential hat for summer.
Tanaka Hat Shop continues to carefully make popular straw hats for all genders and generations, one by one, using traditional methods.
Adjustable adjuster
A hook-and-loop fastener is installed inside the sweatband, allowing for size adjustment by pulling the fastener.
The adjustment range reduces the indicated size by approximately 1.5 cm. Even for those who fit without adjustment, it is useful for fine-tuning on windy days.

Sewing that tests the artisan's tactile sense
Straw braids softened by soaking in water are sewn with a sewing machine for hat making. The sewing begins from the "crown" (called "uzu") of the hat and proceeds by overlapping in a circular pattern.
The sewing progresses carefully, occasionally checking the size with a hat block. The finer the material, the more difficult the sewing becomes, and only skilled artisans can create beautiful shapes. Hats sewn with high-level skill are not only beautiful but also exceptionally comfortable to wear.
A local seasonal tradition: Cold Drying
Straw hats are sewn from autumn to winter for the following spring. After softening the material by soaking it in water, the sewn straw hats are sun-dried.
This is often done during the cold, dry winter, so it is called "kanboshi" (cold drying), and the straw hats lined up across the ground have become a "seasonal tradition" of Kasukabe City.
Molding that gives hats their individuality
Using a dedicated molding machine equipped with a mold, hats are pressed and shaped by water pressure. Depending on the design, the crown and brim may be shaped one by one by hand-steaming, combining separate wooden molds. With numerous molds, various hat designs can be created by combining them.
Decoration
After molding, decorations such as sweatbands and ribbons are applied. All work is done by hand, and artisans carefully sew on each accent ribbon.
Finishing
In the final step, small straw "splinters" are removed. Straw braids can have peeled surfaces or sprouting parts that protrude when woven.
If worn as is, it can feel prickly and uncomfortable. For the wearer's comfort, each of these is cut while stroking the hat with the palm of the hand. This is the thoughtfulness of the artisan, caring for the person who will wear the hat.

Marin/h - Marin Homme - Straw Boater Hat
A straw hat with a classic feel that is popular across generations and is incredibly versatile, suitable for both Japanese and Western attire. Its design is loved by all ages and is a summer wardrobe staple.
This boater hat is also very popular among gentlemen. It has become a trend as it pairs well with traditional Japanese clothing like yukata and festival wear. Marin Homme was designed specifically for gentlemen, differing slightly from the women's boater hat.
The "classic straw boater hat" that evokes the Japanese summer
The boater hat was worn as formal wear for men during the Taisho and Showa eras. By adding a simple black ribbon, we have created an orthodox boater hat that transcends time.
This is a stylish boater hat with a Japanese flair, brought to you by a long-established straw hat maker.
Straw material, excellent breathability, ideal for sun protection
While straw hats cannot be folded, making them somewhat inconvenient to carry, they possess many unique charms that only straw hats can offer.
These include the texture unique to natural materials and their coolness. Straw gleams faintly when exposed to sunlight. This is a distinctive characteristic of straw, as it is not a synthetic material. Its coolness is proven by the fact that many farmers still favor them, as the stems themselves contain countless invisible holes, which are thought to act as air vents after drying.
Furthermore, because it is a slightly stiffer material, the brim does not easily sag even if made long, making it useful for sun protection.
Material: Sanada straw woven from 7 strands of straw
The material is "Sanada straw," woven into a Sanada cord shape. First, each strand of Sanada is hand-woven, then moistened with a spray bottle and sewn. Next, it is shaped, left to dry in the sun, and then decorated. This process of sewing → shaping → decorating is divided among three people, and through this collaboration, one hat is completed.

Sewing: The Artisan's Intuition is Tested
Straw sanada, softened by soaking in water, is sewn using a hat-making sewing machine. Sewing begins from the "crown," the top part of the hat, and proceeds in overlapping circles.
Periodically, the size is checked with a hat block, and sewing continues carefully. The finer the material, the more difficult the sewing becomes, and only a skilled artisan can create a beautiful shape. Hats sewn with high-level skill are not only aesthetically pleasing but also exceptionally comfortable to wear.

This process often occurs during the cold, dry winter months, hence it's called "cold drying," and the straw hats laid out across the ground have become a "seasonal tradition" in Kasukabe City.
Shaping: Giving the Hat Personality
Using a specialized shaping machine with metal molds, the hats are pressed and formed with water pressure. Depending on the design, the crown and brim may be shaped separately using different wooden molds and individually steamed by hand. Having a large variety of molds allows for the creation of various hat designs through different combinations.
Decoration
After shaping, decorations such as sweatbands and ribbons are added. Everything is done by hand, and the ribbons, which serve as accents, are meticulously sewn on one by one by artisans.
Finishing
Finally, fine straw "splinters" are removed. When straw is woven into straw sanada, the surface peels or sprouts protrude.
If worn as is, it would feel scratchy and detract from comfort. For the wearer's sake, these are cut one by one by rubbing the hat with the palm of the hand. This is the thoughtfulness of the artisan, caring for the wearer.

This is a men's juzu (prayer beads) that can be used by all Buddhist sects.
