My mother passed away at 63 years old, and she was born in Taisho era 6 (1918）. I was astonished that it had been for 30 years. She wore in Kimono all the time. Our family business was craft work by Japanese lacquer, so she also assisted them. Even then she wore Japanese apron on Kimono. I recall the picture of her working hard with covered Japanese towel on her head momentarily. When her relics portioned to her family, I received her everyday clothes, Kimono as her remembrance. I pleased to get this occasion to recollect it that keeps in closet for a long time.

私の母は大正６年生まれ63才で他界し、数えてみれば、もう３０年もたってしまったことに驚きました。母はずっと着物で生活していました。家業が漆職人だったので、母も手伝っておりました。その時も着物に割烹着姿でした。髪に日本手ぬぐいをかけ、一所懸命に仕事をしていた様子が今でも眼に浮かびます。母の形見分けの時、普段着で着ていた着物を思い出としてもらいました。たんすにしまいっぱなしだったそれをふと思い返す良い機会を与えて頂いて、うれしく思いました。
