Gucci 17AW Ukiyo-e Woodblock Design Embroidered Souvenir Jacket, Shunga Samurai & Geisha, Size 38

Gucci's 17AW season meets the Japanese souvenir jacket in this embroidered piece drawn from ukiyo-e woodblock art. Its samurai and geisha imagery borrows from shunga, the erotic print tradition of the floating world, turning a house design into a dialogue with Edo visual culture.

The Piece

Shunga, the erotic branch of ukiyo-e woodblock printing, was among the most accomplished work of the Edo-period print masters, and its figures of samurai and geisha have long fascinated designers outside Japan. Here that language is translated into embroidery on the form of the sukajan, the souvenir jacket that began in postwar Yokosuka.

This Gucci jacket from the 17AW season carries an ukiyo-e woodblock-style design of shunga erotic imagery with samurai and geisha. Manufacturer's size 38, with a small-medium fit.
