A guide for this piece: about $114, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

One colour, many stitches
The white tiger is embroidered in a single pale thread, and all its modelling comes from the angle of the needle. That restraint is what the 1950s workshops did best. The dragons on the reverse supply the colour the tiger side withholds.

A padded and quilted acetate sukajan from the Tailor Toyo autumn and winter 2026 collection, reversing from a single white tiger on black to two dragons facing each other across Mount Fuji.
The Piece
Acetate souvenir jackets with padding and quilting were made from the earliest years of the form, alongside the unpadded kind. The quilting is stitched through one face only, so each side of this jacket has its own surface as well as its own picture.
The first side is all black. A white tiger sits across the back beneath the word Japan, worked in changing stitch directions so that the single colour still shows fur and stripes, and two tiger heads face each other on the chest. Turned, the quilted side sets a gold dragon against a white one with Fuji between them, on a black body with pale sleeves. Both designs revive vintage originals from the middle of the 1950s.
