summer festival in japan and Japanese baseball maker "TAMAZAWA"

Speaking of summer in Japan, it is a summer festival!

Summer festivals are held from the middle of July,
when children are starting their summer holidays, until the middle of August.

There are all kinds of festivals ranging from small ones to large ones where visitors from out of town attend as well.

The main attractions at summer festivals are bon-odori and firework shows.

We had a big fireworks show on July 25 in Tokyo!

Many people have fun dressing up in a yukata at summer festivals.

Because there is a rental yukata,
the person with the chance to go summer destival in japan,try it!!

Today, I will introduse "TAMAZAWA".

TAMAZAWA is Japanese baseball gear maker that they have a history over 100 years.

Approximately 88% of products of Tamazawa are made in Japan.
Why are you particular about a product made in Japan?

It is to let a product reflect quality of the relief made in Japan and the skill of the conventional craftsman.

Tamazawa has many kinds,
but my recommendation is "kantama series"(カンタマシリーズ)

ＫＡＮＴＡＭＡ

A kanji carved seal and a kanji label are super cool!!
The bag of the glove is a KANTAMA special, too.

if you like WAGYU leather,
this is the top series "DELUXE".
