Vintage Reversible Hannya Sukajan Jacket Size S Japanese Oni Mask Katana Peony Flame Embroidered Yokosuka Bomber

Black and Burgundy Japanese Souvenir Jacket with Silver Hannya Masks, Crossed Swords, Peonies and Flame Embroidery

A silver Hannya emerges from a halo of fire, framed by crossed katana, braided cords and ghostly peonies. Turn the jacket inside out and the darkness transforms into richly patterned burgundy satin, giving this reversible sukajan two completely different lives.

This is a striking Japanese souvenir-style bomber for collectors drawn to Hannya imagery, irezumi-inspired artwork, dramatic monochrome embroidery and reversible vintage streetwear.

Hannya, Fire and Crossed Katana

The principal black side centers on a large horned Hannya mask embroidered in silver, charcoal and black thread. Two crossed Japanese swords rise behind the mask, while pale peony-like blossoms and braided ceremonial cords create an ornate symmetrical frame.

Rust-orange flames surround the entire composition, bringing warmth and movement to the otherwise monochrome design.

In traditional Noh imagery, the Hannya represents a woman transformed by overwhelming jealousy, anguish and rage. The mask is especially compelling because it can appear furious from one angle yet sorrowful from another, allowing it to embody emotional contradiction rather than simple evil.

The imagery includes:

• A central horned Hannya mask
• Crossed katana swords
• Rust-orange rising flames
• Large peony-like blossoms
• Braided cord and tassel details
• Twin Hannya masks across the front chest
• Floral accents surrounding each front mask

Together, these elements evoke confrontation, emotional transformation, mortality and strength under pressure.

Black Embroidered Side

The main side features a lustrous black satin body with champagne-ivory sleeves and black shoulder stripes.

The back carries the jacket’s most commanding image: a large silver Hannya surrounded by crossed swords, flowers and flames. The restrained palette gives the embroidery the appearance of engraved metal or monochrome tattoo flash, interrupted only by the burnt-orange fire.

The front mirrors the theme with two smaller Hannya masks surrounded by blossoms and flame details. Black-and-cream striped ribbing at the collar, cuffs and waistband completes the classic sukajan silhouette.

Burgundy Patterned Reverse

The reversible side reveals an entirely different visual character.

A jewel-toned burgundy body is paired with pale champagne panels and covered in woven calligraphy-inspired characters, seals and ornamental markings in black, silver and pink. Rather than repeating the large figurative embroidery, this side presents a richly patterned textile surface with an almost brocade-like appearance.

The result is unusually versatile:

• Black side for bold Hannya statement styling
• Burgundy side for patterned Japanese maximalism
• Two complete color palettes within one garment
• Suitable for punk, rock, tattoo, streetwear and collector wardrobes

Construction and Materials

The jacket is made in a traditional souvenir-bomber format with:

• Smooth satin-style woven fabric
• Dense multicolor machine embroidery
• Reversible construction
• Full-length metal zipper
• Slanted front pockets on both sides
• Raglan-style sleeves
• Striped rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband
• Lightweight transitional construction

The embroidery is concentrated across the back and chest of the black side, while the reverse relies on woven surface pattern and contrasting color blocking.

Period Assessment

Based on its materials, reversible construction, embroidery style and irezumi-influenced composition, the jacket appears consistent with a later Japanese sukajan revival piece, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century.

It draws heavily from classic Yokosuka souvenir-jacket construction while embracing the more elaborate Hannya, tattoo and street-fashion imagery associated with later Japanese revival designs.

Vintage Condition

Pre-owned vintage condition with age-appropriate signs of wear.

The satin displays natural creasing, rippling and tonal variation. Light surface marks, minor discoloration, thread irregularities and softened areas may be present, particularly on the pale champagne panels and other high-contact areas.

These characteristics form part of the jacket’s vintage personality rather than the uniform finish of a newly manufactured garment. Please study every photograph carefully, as the images provide the clearest representation of its embroidery, satin texture, coloration and overall condition.

Size and Measurements

Size: S

This appears best suited to a modern XS–S range depending on body shape, layering and preferred fit. Please compare the following measurements with a similar jacket that fits comfortably.

Approximate measurements in centimeters:

A = 64 cm
B = 47 cm
C = 76 cm
D = 50 cm
E = 44 cm

Please refer to the shop’s Sukajan Sizing Guide for the corresponding A–E measuring points. Vintage Japanese sizing may differ considerably from modern international sizing, so the actual garment measurements should be used as the primary reference.

Why Collect This Jacket

This piece achieves something difficult: it is visually aggressive without becoming visually chaotic.

The silver-on-black embroidery gives the Hannya composition unusual clarity, while the flames provide just enough color to ignite the design. The reverse adds another layer of collector appeal through its burgundy calligraphy-style textile.

It is especially suited to:

• Sukajan and Yokosuka jacket collectors
• Hannya and Noh-mask enthusiasts
• Japanese tattoo-art wardrobes
• Alternative and punk styling
• Japanese maximalist fashion
• Reversible bomber collectors
• Editorial photography and display
• Wearable-art collections
