Worn by Ainu men and women, aprons were part of the traditional regalia and thus decorated with the same ornamental patterns as found on Ainu robes. Much like our aprons, they are a rectangular strip of cloth attached to two strips of fabric to fasten in the back. Aprons were worn atop other garments to keep them from opening and exposing the body.
