Kacho Fugetsu Red Oiran Sukajan, Cherry Blossom and Geisha Tattoo-Art Embroidery, Souvenir Tour Jacket, Size M

Red satin, falling cherry blossoms and the figures of geisha, oiran and maiko meet on this Kacho Fugetsu sukajan, a souvenir jacket that borrows its imagery from Japanese tattoo art and its name from the classical ideal of nature's beauty.

The Piece

Kachō fūgetsu, “flower, bird, wind and moon”, is the classical Japanese phrase for the beauty of the natural world, and the brand that takes its name builds its jackets from that vocabulary. This red sukajan joins cherry blossoms with the women of the pleasure quarters and the stage, geisha, oiran and maiko, in embroidery drawn from Japanese tattoo art.

Cut as a Yokosuka jumper, the souvenir jacket form born in postwar Yokosuka, it is presented as a tour jacket in manufacturer's size M.
