Uchikake Kimono Remake Sukajan with Obi Textile and Hyuga Kamon Crest Pattern, Souvenir Jacket, Size L

The uchikake, the richly decorated over-robe of the Japanese bridal wardrobe, reworked into the cut of a souvenir sukajan. Obi textile and a pattern of Hyuga kamon crests carry formal Japanese dress into the language of the embroidered jacket.

The Piece

This souvenir jacket is a remake built from vintage uchikake kimono textile, the outer robe traditionally worn over a kimono for formal occasions and weddings, combined with obi fabric. Its surface is patterned with kamon in the Hyuga style, the family crests that have marked Japanese textiles, lacquer and armor for centuries.

Set into the sukajan form, a jacket that grew out of the embroidered souvenir pieces made around postwar Yokosuka, the ceremonial cloth takes on a refined, classic character, a high-sense garment that sits between heritage textile and contemporary dress.
