SAN MARUICHI Vintage Japanese Japan Frog Kaeru Momiji Moon Tsuki Embroidered Yokosuka Jumper Reversible Bomber Sukajan Souvenir Jacket XL

Rare Kaeru Frog, Crescent Moon and Autumn Leaf Reversible Japanese Streetwear Jacket

COLLECTOR’S OVERVIEW

A richly embroidered vintage SAN MARUICHI / 参丸一 reversible sukajan featuring the brand’s signature playful frog imagery against a dramatic moonlit autumn setting.

The primary side combines a black satin body with champagne-gold sleeves, framing a theatrical procession of dancing and leaping frogs beneath a crescent moon. Red blossoms, golden maple leaves, green foliage, and swirling water complete the scene. The reverse changes character entirely, revealing an elegant black-and-silver brocade-style landscape patterned with traditional pavilions, trees, bridges, and garden scenery.

Whimsical without becoming childish, this jacket captures the eccentric spirit of Japanese wagara streetwear. It is bold enough to command a room, yet intricate enough to reward close inspection.

REVERSIBLE DESIGN

Frog, Moon and Autumn Side

The embroidered face presents several expressive frogs moving beneath a crescent moon:

• Two frogs dance above stylized water and broad green leaves
• A smaller frog sits within the crescent moon
• Additional frogs reach toward falling blossoms and maple leaves
• Red, gold, cream, green, and silver embroidery creates vivid contrast against black satin
• Champagne-gold raglan sleeves soften the composition and frame the central artwork
• Arrow-trim pockets and striped ribbing preserve the classic sukajan silhouette

The front continues the scene with asymmetrical frog embroidery. One frog leaps across a silver crescent surrounded by red blossoms, while another reaches toward a glowing gold moon and falling maple leaves.

Black and Silver Landscape Side

The reverse features a monochrome brocade-style textile woven with traditional Japanese garden scenery, including pavilions, flowering trees, bridges, and layered natural forms.

A single embroidered frog appears leaping across a golden crescent moon on the back, adding a quiet focal point without disturbing the more restrained black-and-silver palette.

This side offers a subtler, more architectural alternative to the colorful embroidered face.

DESIGN AND SYMBOLISM

The frogs create a lively scene of movement, curiosity, and transformation. Their exaggerated poses bring humor and personality to the composition, while the crescent moon gives the design a dreamlike nocturnal atmosphere.

Maple leaves suggest the fleeting beauty of autumn, while the scattered red blossoms add rhythm and color across the black ground. The reverse landscape evokes an idealized Japanese garden viewed after dark, giving the jacket an unusual balance between playful character art and elegant traditional pattern.

One side dances beneath the moon. The other slips quietly through a silver garden. 🐸🌙🍁

MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

• Lustrous rayon or satin-finish outer fabric
• Fully reversible construction
• Dense multicolor machine embroidery
• Black-and-silver brocade-style patterned reverse
• Champagne-gold raglan sleeves
• Full front reversible zipper
• Rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband

PERIOD AND STYLE ASSESSMENT

The construction and highly decorative SAN MARUICHI aesthetic appear consistent with Japanese streetwear from the 2000s to early 2010s.

This period produced some of the most imaginative modern sukajan designs, combining traditional Japanese motifs, tattoo-inspired embroidery, character art, brocade textiles, and vintage American bomber-jacket construction.

CONDITION

Vintage pre-owned condition with age-appropriate signs of wear.

The satin and brocade-style surfaces may show natural creasing, light handling marks, gentle tonal variation, thread relaxation, or minor signs of previous storage and use. Rib-knit sections may also show normal vintage wear.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description. Additional detailed images are available upon request.

DIMENSIONS AND SIZING

Manufacturer’s Tag Size: XL
