Tatar hats from Japan


Umit Agi's mother was a seamstress and perfectionist.  She made dresses and especially beautiful weding gowns.  She also made two tubeteikas for her two sons (The second matching black one is not complete)  We believe that she also made the white one.  These hats are physical manifestations of Tatar efforts to preserve Tatar culture and Muslim identity in the diaspora world.  I consider these two hats to be "treasures of the diaspora Tatar World", very beautiful
