Hanatabi Gakudan Sakura & Dokuro Skull Embroidered Reversible Sukajan, Minimal Zen Palette, Size L

A Hanatabi Gakudan reversible sukajan that sets cherry blossoms against the dokuro, the skeleton skull, in a minimal, Zen-like palette. Sakura and skull together speak of beauty and impermanence, a pairing with deep roots in Japanese imagery.

The Piece

Hanatabi Gakudan is a Japanese wagara label devoted to embroidered sukajan, the souvenir jacket that began in postwar Yokosuka. This reversible bomber pairs embroidered sakura cherry blossoms with a dokuro skeleton-skull form, restrained to a minimal color design; in Japanese visual culture the blossom stands for fleeting beauty and the skull for mortality, so the two motifs read as one meditation on transience.
