Hirosaki City's vintage store “BUTTON UP clothing” (Omachi, Hirosaki, TEL 0172-37-6699) manager Yusuke Tsunoda bought a military uniform made in Hirosaki in New York.

The military uniform is sewn with the tag "Fukushi Clothes Store," which used to be in front of Hirosaki University (Bunkyo-cho), and the name "Seo" is embroidered near the inside pocket.

Mr. Kakuda said, "It seems that the uniform was worn by a person with a height of about 160 cm, and it was supposed that it was made during the war. All five buttons made of alloy at the time were all available. I don't think it's more than 70 years old. I'm impressed with the tailoring techniques of those days.

The same store that deals with American and European used clothing. Mr. Tsunoda buys the products lined up in stores directly at flea markets in the United States. "When I moved to the United States in March, when I found a military uniform at a second-hand clothing store in New York, my hands were shaking and I was so excited. I suddenly uttered to the clerk," I'm here! Laughs.

According to Yoshiaki Noro, a relative of Matsuya, a clothing store in the city that said he was making military uniforms during the war, the military city of Hirosaki was visited by many trainees from outside the prefecture during the war. After finishing, he said that he had arrived in the battlefield with a new military uniform in Hirosaki. "Especially near the end of the war, clothes stores in the city were gathered on the site of the former Hirosaki Kyogyosha (Miyuki Town), and a factory dedicated to military uniforms was built. The last name" Seo "is rare in Hirosaki. It may be a person. "

Mr. Tsunoda said, "How did you leave Hirosaki and travel to New York? I imagine various dramas just by imagining it. I do not sell it. If possible, this military uniform is a relative of" Seo ". I want to return it to the people concerned. ”
