This example is reversible, so that one garment holds two entirely different characters: the black velvet side is dark, dense and quietly dramatic, while the green satin side is bright and lustrous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the velvet side, a tiger is embroidered across the back, with a pair of tigers facing each other at the front. Turned inside out, the green satin side shows an eagle across the back and two dragons at the front. The embroidery is dense and dimensional, and the two faces make the jacket two pieces in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woven label reads Kosho \u0026amp; Co., with the characters 港商 and the place names Tokyo and Yokohama, in size 特大 (extra large).
