Kimono and Obi Remake Denim Sukajan, Embroidered Deconstructed Patchwork, Metallica Punk Rock Art, Size L–XL

A denim souvenir jacket taken apart and rebuilt with kimono and obi textile, embroidery and punk-rock graphics. Handmade as a single piece, it brings Metallica-era rock art and Japanese ceremonial cloth into the same deconstructed patchwork.

The Piece

This is a handmade, one-and-only remake: a denim jacket in the sukajan souvenir-jacket idiom, deconstructed and reassembled with kimono and obi fabrics, embroidered elements and patchwork. The title places it in punk-rock territory, with Metallica-related art among the panels.

The sukajan began as embroidered souvenir jackets made for American servicemen around postwar Yokosuka; here its spirit of cross-cultural ornament meets the cut-and-sew energy of punk and the formality of Japanese textile. The jacket is shown on a model who is 165 cm, or 5 feet 4 inches, tall.
