The uguisu, Japan's bush warbler, is the traditional herald of spring, its song celebrated in poetry for more than a thousand years. Here it is embroidered on a reversible velvet souvenir jacket with script lettering, a gentler subject for the Yokosuka jumper than the familiar tigers and dragons.
The Piece
A reversible sukajan in velvet, embroidered with uguisu bush warblers and script lettering, tagged size M. Two jacket types are photographed with separate measuring guides, so please match the A–E figures to the correct diagram.
In Japanese painting and verse the uguisu is paired with the plum blossom of early spring, and its name has become a byword for a clear, lovely voice.
