Super Dope Rare DAZZLE INT YAMANE EVISU Genes Japan Japanese Hamigaki Toothbrush Flower Floral Pattern Print Lion Head Tattoo Art Embroidered Embroidery Yokosuka Jumper Sukajan Souvenir Jacket ( Size : 40 / M )

Rare Reversible Japanese Streetwear Jacket with Embroidered Lion and Kimono-Inspired Crane Pattern

COLLECTOR’S OVERVIEW

A striking vintage EVISU Yamane Genes reversible jacket combining two dramatically different expressions of Japanese streetwear.

One side presents a glossy black satin body dominated by a large roaring lion rendered in dense golden-brown embroidery. The opposite side transforms the jacket into a richly patterned wagara bomber filled with cranes, fans, chrysanthemums, peonies, and traditional floral ornament against a deep black and vermilion ground.

Bold, eccentric, and unmistakably Japanese, this is the kind of jacket that works equally well as collectible streetwear, statement outerwear, or wearable textile art.

EVISU was founded in Osaka in 1991 and became internationally recognized for its distinctive interpretation of Japanese craftsmanship, denim culture, and character-driven fashion.

REVERSIBLE DESIGN

Black Roaring Lion Side

The black satin side features an enormous embroidered lion head with a radiating mane, open mouth, visible fangs, and intense amber eye.

Above the lion is the Japanese katakana:

ライオン — Raion / Lion

Below appears the stylized expression:

ガオウ — Gaō / a roaring sound

The front continues the playful graphic language with appliquéd lettering and a club-like emblem, creating a distinctive blend of sukajan embroidery, Japanese character fashion, and vintage sportswear attitude.

Wagara Crane and Floral Side

The reverse is constructed from a colorful kimono-inspired patterned textile featuring:

• Japanese cranes
• Chrysanthemums and peonies
• Decorative fans
• Floral medallions
• Red cloud-like forms
• Green foliage and seasonal blossoms
• Black, vermilion, coral, gold, cream, and turquoise accents

The dense all-over pattern gives this side the appearance of a reconstructed kimono textile bomber, offering a softer and more decorative contrast to the roaring lion design.

SYMBOLISM AND AESTHETIC

The lion traditionally suggests strength, authority, courage, and protective power. Its frontal roaring pose gives the black side an immediate visual force associated with tattoo art, rockabilly fashion, and Japanese street culture.

Cranes are associated with longevity, good fortune, and enduring partnership, while chrysanthemums suggest refinement and seasonal beauty. Together, the reverse side creates a richly layered field of auspicious Japanese imagery.

The contrast between the fierce lion and elegant wagara textile is what makes this jacket especially memorable. One side roars; the other blooms. 🦁🌺

MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

• Smooth rayon or satin-style outer shell
• Reversible two-sided construction
• Dense multicolor lion embroidery
• Woven or printed wagara textile reverse
• Quilted stitching visible on the patterned side
• Full front zipper
• Cream rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband
• Traditional raglan-style sukajan silhouette
• Two distinct wearable colorways in one garment

The jacket has a lightweight, fluid drape typical of souvenir jackets while retaining a structured waist and cuff line through the substantial ribbing.

PERIOD AND STYLE ASSESSMENT

The construction, artwork, and EVISU Yamane aesthetic appear consistent with Japanese streetwear produced during the late 1990s to 2000s.

This period saw Japanese brands freely combining vintage American bomber shapes, sukajan embroidery, kimono-derived textiles, tattoo iconography, and humorous character graphics. The result is neither a conventional military souvenir jacket nor a simple fashion bomber, but a distinctly Japanese hybrid collectible.

CONDITION

Vintage pre-owned condition with age-appropriate wear.

The satin and patterned textile may show natural creasing, light surface marks, gentle tonal variation, thread relaxation, or signs of previous storage and use. The rib-knit sections may also display mild vintage wear.

These characteristics form part of the jacket’s present vintage appearance. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the condition description.

Additional detailed photographs may be requested before purchase.

DIMENSIONS AND SIZING
