The popular boater hat, now with a finer material for a more sophisticated adult style.
The boater hat is a classic women's hat. It's a timeless design loved by all ages, a staple in any summer wardrobe.
This "Maran" boater hat is crafted from a slightly finer material and stands 9cm tall, designed for adults who want a secure and stylish fit.
The charm of a simple ribbon that suits any outfit.
Crafted from fine straw, this hat showcases the artisan's handiwork, exuding an air of elegance.
Whether worn securely or tilted casually, the styling is entirely up to you.
With its natural feel and simple design, it's not limited to casual outfits like T-shirts and jeans; it also complements dresses made of linen and other materials.
Its charm lies in its versatility, suitable for both city and resort settings.
Founded in 1880 - A long-established company 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 Tanaka Hat Shop is a long-established company among them, boasting over 100 years of history and tradition.
Straw hats are made using a unique sewing method where seven strands of straw are woven into one, and each hat is meticulously sewn in a circular pattern by artisans, layer by layer.
Natural straw is breathable and perfect for sun protection, making it an essential summer hat.
At Tanaka Hat Shop, popular straw hats for all genders and generations are still carefully handcrafted one by one using traditional methods.
Sewing that tests an artisan's intuition
Straw braid, softened by soaking in water, is sewn using a hat-making machine.
Starting from the "vortex" or "crown" of the hat, it is sewn in concentric circles.
The artisans carefully sew, periodically checking the size with a hat block.
The finer the material, the more difficult the sewing, and only skilled artisans can create a beautiful shape.
Hats sewn with highly skilled techniques not only look beautiful but also offer exceptional comfort.
A local winter tradition: cold drying
Straw hats are sewn from autumn to winter in preparation for the following spring.
After soaking the material in water to soften it, the sewn straw hats are then sun-dried.
This process is often carried out during the cold, dry winter months, hence it is called "kanboshi" (cold drying), and the sight of straw hats lined up across the ground has become a "seasonal tradition" in Kasukabe City.
Molding that gives individuality to a hat
Using a dedicated molding machine equipped with a mold, the hat is pressed and shaped with water pressure.
Depending on the design, the crown and brim may be formed separately by combining different wooden molds and hand-steaming each one.
With numerous molds available, it is possible to create various hat designs by combining them.
Embellishment
After molding, sweatbands and ribbons are added as embellishments.
Everything is done by hand, with artisans meticulously sewing on each accent ribbon.
Finishing
For the finishing touch, fine straw "frays" are removed.
Straw braid sometimes has peels on its surface or sprouts sticking out when the straw is woven.
If worn as is, it can feel prickly and detract from comfort.
For the wearer's sake, artisans gently rub the hat with their palms to cut off each of these imperfections.
This reflects the artisan's thoughtfulness for the wearer.

Large, simple ribbon as an accent
The wide brim thoroughly covers your face, effectively blocking sunlight and providing excellent sun protection.
The brim has a wire so you can freely arrange its shape, making it a timeless design that can be combined with various styles.
What is Raffia?
Raffia is a natural material processed from the leaves of the "raffia palm," which is native to Madagascar. We make hats from woven cords crafted from these fibers. The material becomes softer and more comfortable to the touch the more you use it.
There are two types of raffia weaving: fine weave and coarse weave.
Normally, coarse weave can be completed in less than a day, but fine weave takes craftsmen 2 to 3 days to meticulously finish. Tanaka Hat Shop uses fine weave, resulting in not only a delicate and beautiful finish but also exceptional comfort.

Founded in 1880 ~ A long-established shop with over 100 years of history ~
Straw hats are a traditional craft of Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture.

Straw hats are made using a unique sewing method where seven strands of straw are woven into one material, and then meticulously sewn in a circular pattern by hand by artisans.
Made from natural straw, these hats are breathable and perfect for sun protection, making them an essential item for summer.
Tanaka Hat Shop still carefully crafts each popular straw hat for all genders and generations using traditional methods.
Sewing that tests the artisan's intuition
The straw braid, softened by soaking in water, is sewn using a hat-making machine.
Sewing begins from the "crown" part of the hat, called the "swirl," and proceeds in a circular, overlapping 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 highly skilled techniques are not only beautiful to look at but also exceptionally comfortable to wear.
Local winter tradition: cold drying
Straw hats are sewn from autumn to winter in preparation for the following spring.
Since the material is softened by soaking in water before sewing, the finished straw hats are then sun-dried.
This process often takes place during the cold, dry winter months, hence it is called "kanboshi" (cold drying). 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 with a metal mold, the hat is pressed and shaped with water pressure.
Depending on the design, the crown and brim may be combined from separate wooden molds and shaped by hand steaming one by one.
With many molds available, various hat designs can be created by combining them.
Decoration
After molding, decorations such as sweatbands and ribbons are added.
All work is done by hand, and the accent ribbons are meticulously sewn on by artisans one by one.
Finishing
Finally, fine straw "splinters" are removed.
In straw braid, the surface skin of the straw may peel or sprouts may protrude when woven.
If worn as is, it can feel prickly and uncomfortable.
For the wearer's comfort, each of these is carefully cut while rubbing the hat with the palm of the hand.
This is the thoughtfulness of the artisan, thinking of the person who will wear the hat.
