A roaring tiger fills the back between Kyoto and Evisuchou lettering, two long dragons coil down the sleeves, and the neck label reads Yamane Lot 552 Asian Genes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis embroidered denim jacket translates the visual language of the Japanese sukajan into dark indigo cotton denim: part trucker jacket, part Yokosuka souvenir jacket, part tattoo flash, part Y2K streetwear artifact. The original neck label identifies it as YAMANE Lot 552 Asian Genes, and the Japanese care label confirms size 40, 100% cotton, made in China and distributed by Evisu Japan Co., Ltd. Another example of this exact Kyoto Evisuchou Dragon \u0026amp; Tiger embroidered denim design, also in size 40 and described as 1990s Yamane EVISU, is documented, confirming a recognized period model rather than an improvised custom piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of reserving embroidery for one panel, the design expands across three zones. The back centerpiece is an enormous roaring tiger head in warm gold, tan, cream, pink and muted earth tones, mouth fully open over elongated fangs and a pink tongue, with exaggerated whiskers, fur radiating around the face and an almost kabuki-like emphasis around the eyes; \"Kyōto\" is embroidered above and \"Evisuchou\" below, in dusty pink, directly into the denim. Large dragons run down the left and right sleeves, following the vertical line of the arm in pale gold and cream thread with warmer red, peach and darker detailing around the heads, so the composition becomes more dynamic when worn and far more elaborate than the many EVISU jackets decorated only on chest or back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front is comparatively restrained: a smaller roaring tiger over one chest echoes the back, a flap utility pocket sits on the other, and slanted lower pockets keep the functional language of vintage work jackets. Approached from the front, the jacket looks almost conventional, then reveals itself from the side and rear. Against almost midnight-blue denim the gold and cream embroidery seems illuminated, with pink and red accents kept secondary, flamboyant without looking fluorescent; every fade and crease in the aging denim gives the imagery more depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiger and dragon are one of East Asian art's great oppositions, the dragon celestial, fluid and ascending, the tiger terrestrial force, courage and grounded power, often treated in Japanese decorative culture as complementary rivals. Here the tiger holds the back while the dragons occupy the sleeves, almost enclosing the wearer. EVISU was founded by Hidehiko Yamane in Osaka in 1991 and built its reputation on Japanese denim craftsmanship, bold graphics and its painted seagull; the Yamane name draws collectors to the founder-era design universe, with its older label designs, eccentric Japanese-English naming, less standardized graphics and designs seen in far smaller numbers than today's internationally distributed collections. EVISU still offers embroidery-led denim jackets today, but this older piece has the raw, less polished personality collectors seek in the archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e YAMANE \/ EVISU-era; distributed by Evisu Japan Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lot 552, Kyoto Evisuchou Tiger \u0026amp; Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine \/ Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e YAMANE \"Asian Genes\" label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late 1990s to early 2000s (styling; no dated production code)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% cotton denim; embroidery thread; metal hardware; woven label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark indigo \/ washed navy, blue-black wash; gold, cream, pink and red embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 (tag); cautiously around men's M–L depending on fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat measurements of this jacket to be taken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trucker-style denim jacket; pointed shirt-style collar; front metal closure; chest flap pocket; slanted lower pockets; buttoned cuffs; straight waistband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back: roaring tiger head with Kyōto and Evisuchou lettering.
