{"product_id":"reversible-swallow-wild-goose-sukajan-champagne-blush-pink","title":"Reversible Swallow \u0026 Wild Goose Sukajan, Champagne and Blush Pink Jacquard Satin, Late Shōwa–Heisei, Size M","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"jp-product\" data-world=\"Yokosuka \u0026amp; Amekaji\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"jp-lede\"\u003eRose-toned swallows dart across champagne gold and antique ivory on one face; on the other, long-necked migratory birds glide past a pale moon over faded blush pink. Instead of dragons or tigers, this reversible sukajan finds its impact in movement, softness and the poetry of birds in flight, its age worn openly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe champagne-and-ivory face presents an energetic flock of swallows crossing the body in two sweeping formations, worked in burgundy, dusty rose, pale peach and black against the woven ivory ground. Their pointed wings, forked tails and directional arrangement give a lively sense of migration; the birds cut diagonally across the jacket, suggesting speed, freedom and coordinated movement, in a visual current that continues from the chest onto the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse changes the mood. A faded blush-pink body framed with pale sage sleeves is embroidered with long-necked birds consistent with wild geese or ducks, more widely spaced and floating through a quieter landscape. Stylized cloud and water lines drift along the sleeves and back, and a pale circular moon anchors the composition, giving this side an almost painted quality that recalls seasonal Japanese screens and textile compositions. Together the faces feel like changing seasons, warm autumn gold on one side and misty spring pink on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody and sleeves are cut from lustrous jacquard-woven satin with a scenic pattern visible beneath the embroidery, so the surface shimmers differently as the jacket moves even where there is no threadwork, and decorative parallel stripes run along the raglan sleeves. The jacket is best understood as a vintage Japanese fashion interpretation of the classic souvenir jacket rather than an early postwar military piece, and its romantic palette and extensive bird embroidery place it within the decorative, fashion-led branch of sukajan collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe champagne-gold face works with cream trousers, faded denim, linen, neutral knitwear and understated vintage accessories; the blush-pink face with washed jeans, long skirts, wide-leg trousers or contemporary Japanese streetwear. It is equally a distinctive display piece for collectors of bird-themed textile art, wagara fashion and pastel Japanese streetwear: a poetic, visibly aged jacket with the atmosphere of a discovered textile rather than a pristine modern reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e No visible maker label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent with late Shōwa to Heisei-period Japanese sukajan and wagara fashion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lustrous satin-finish jacquard (brocade) body and sleeves with a woven scenic pattern; rayon-like textile; embroidery thread; rib-knit trim; metal zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne gold, antique ivory, blush pink, pale sage, dusty rose and burgundy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e M (manufacturer's size); approximately a modern Western XS–S or slim unisex S, depending on build, shoulder width, chest measurement, layering and preferred silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully reversible; embroidery on both faces; raglan-style shoulders; decorative parallel sleeve stripes; rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband; slanted welt pockets on both faces; central metal zipper; soft, lightweight bomber silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swallows, migratory birds (wild geese or ducks), moon, clouds and flowing air and water lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sukajan (Yokosuka jumper), reversible embroidered souvenir bomber; unisex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage pre-owned condition with pronounced age-related character; the embroidery remains expressive and retains strong decorative presence on both faces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pale satin and brocade surfaces show visible discoloration, mottling, staining, fading and uneven toning throughout, especially across the ivory, gold, blush and pale green areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurther signs of age include general wrinkling and handling wear, patina around the body and sleeve panels, fading and discoloration to the rib-knit trim, natural variation across the woven satin, and wear consistent with long-term use and storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered with its existing wear, patina and imperfections intact.
