The dragon and the tiger, the oldest rivalry on the souvenir jacket, embroidered by Satori on a black reversible satin bomber that keeps faith with the sukajan’s postwar Yokosuka roots.
The Piece
A reversible Satori sukajan in black satin, embroidered with the ryū dragon and the tora tiger. In Japanese art the dragon commands water and sky while the tiger rules the land; set against one another, they express the balance of opposing forces that made the pair the defining motif of the souvenir jacket.
Satori, known for densely embroidered wagara jackets, renders the pairing in the tradition of the original Yokosuka jumpers made for American servicemen in postwar Japan.
