Lordy, how I miss Uwajimaya. I bought the only apron I've ever liked in my
life there close to 20 years ago. I've searched all over, found a used one
on ebay, and it was the brand that U. sold, but it was the one for children.
I was in touch with them about the apron, but was unsuccessful.

Most everything I bought there has gone by the wayside over the years, but
it was such a fun place to go.
