A guide for this piece: about $65, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

Fire at the gate of hell
The oni is the sukajan's most theatrical guest, and el conductorH stages him in full: flames, tiger skin, a skull underfoot. Sky blue against black sleeves gives the jacket a stage costume clarity, while the cupro lining and Japanese make keep it a designer piece. A strong, wearable statement from a label collectors follow closely.
Best for: Japanese designer sukajan collectors; folklore motifs
Condition notes

A souvenir jacket by el conductorH, reference PD23SJ08, from the label's PASSION DESIRE line: sky blue acetate with black sleeves, a horned oni wreathed in flame beneath Japan script on the back, and two snarling oni heads at the chest. Made in Japan, tagged 2.
The Piece
The back is a full scene. A blue skinned oni with golden hair and pale horns lunges forward, fangs bared and arms raised, wearing a tiger skin loincloth, while tongues of red and orange flame rise around him and a small white skull rolls at his feet. Japan is written above in flowing white script. On the chest, a pair of oni heads with golden manes face each other across the zip.
The construction is sharper than a standard sukajan: black sleeves set against the blue body, contrast piping along the raglan seams, and blue, cream and black striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem. A short silver chain hanger is fixed beneath the collar on the PASSION DESIRE label, and the jacket is lined in cupro over a light padding.
el conductorH is a Tokyo label known for reworking Japanese and American vintage forms with a darker, rock inflected edge, and its souvenir jackets are among its most recognisable pieces.
