The illustration, by the artist Saeko Tsuemura, draws on Japanese poster art of the 1930s: a woman with a sleek bob, red lips and a rose tucked behind her ear, resting her chin on her hands within a vermilion ring. The name recalls the wartime radio voice of Tokyo Rose, a knowing, slightly provocative choice for a menswear shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt itself is cut in the generous Pour Homme proportion of the early 1990s: a long, straight body with side vents, a single flap pocket at the chest, a point collar and broad dropped shoulders. The cloth is a fine pale yellow, almost buttermilk, and the portrait shows faintly through to the front, a lovely effect in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck carries the early Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme signature label, size M. The printing on the composition tag has faded and is no longer legible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt wears long and loose, tucked into wide pleated trousers or worn open over a black tee. As with most surviving examples, it shows its age honestly, which is part of its appeal to collectors of early 1990s Yamamoto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme, illustration by Saeko Tsuemura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn\/Winter 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokyo Rose long-sleeve shirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton-type shirting (composition tag faded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale yellow with printed portrait in black, pink and vermilion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder 56 cm · Chest (pit to pit) 69 cm · Sleeve 61 cm · Length 94 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shirt only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage condition with visible use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellowing at the collar and both cuffs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stain to the lower front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFraying to the back neck label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe printed portrait is complete and strong in colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
