Wing against weight
Every Mothra picture is a contest between grace and bulk, and the embroiderer has understood it. The moth takes the shoulders; the lizard is left the sea.
Best for: Kaiju collectors and wearers of pictorial sukajan

A satin sukajan in black with pale gold-cream sleeves, embroidered across the back with Mothra in full flight above Godzilla, a breaking wave and a red Mount Fuji. Both monsters return on the chest.
The Piece
Mothra first appeared on screen in 1961 and met Godzilla three years later, and the pairing has been a favourite of embroiderers ever since: one creature all wing and colour, the other all mass. Here the moth spreads across the shoulders in orange, gold and violet thread, its wings marked with eyes, while Godzilla rises from the surf below in grey-blue with white spines.
The front splits the cast, Mothra on one side of the zip and Godzilla on the other, each above a curl of wave. Ribbed collar, cuffs and hem are striped in black, grey and white, with a line of blue at the neck, and the body is lined in dark satin.
