TEDMAN Peak'd Yellow Reversible Sukajan, Kiss My Tattoo Anego Geisha, Bird & Panther Embroidery, Size 42

TEDMAN made its name on tattoo-flavored Japanese Americana, and this Peak'd Yellow sukajan plays that hand fully: a Kiss My Tattoo theme, the anego, the tough elder-sister figure of yakuza lore, among geisha, maiko and oiran, with a bird and a panther in yakuza tattoo style. A souvenir jacket in the old Yokosuka spirit, worn red side out.

The Piece

The sukajan, born as an embroidered souvenir jacket around Yokosuka's postwar American base, has long served as a canvas for the same imagery that Japanese tattoo masters work into skin.

This example, labeled TEDMAN of Ted Clothing Company and Peak'd Yellow, is a reversible souvenir or tour jacket built around a Kiss My Tattoo and anego theme. Anego, literally 'elder sister', is the formidable woman of yakuza storytelling, and here she keeps company with geisha, maiko and oiran, a bird and a panther, all embroidered in the language of yakuza tattoo art. It carries a manufacturer's size 42 and measures 63 cm in height and 60 cm in width.
