Vintage Sukajan Jacket –
Kintarō Riding a Tiger (Brown Velvet)
Boldly embroidered with the legendary Kintarō, the golden boy of Japanese folklore, this vintage Sukajan (souvenir jacket) tells a story of raw strength and bravery. Kintarō is seen riding a fierce tiger through snow-covered bamboo, with Mount Fuji in the background—an iconic symbol of Japan.
Crafted in rich brown velvet, the jacket also features vivid dragon embroidery on each sleeve, adding balance between mythic power and traditional artistry. "Japan" is stitched across the shoulders in classic script, making this a standout piece that honors both craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
Momotarō Riding Dragon Sukajan (Reversible Satin Side)
This satin side of the reversible Sukajan features a dynamic embroidery of Momotarō, the iconic warrior from Japanese folklore, riding a powerful, flame-wreathed golden dragon through swirling clouds. With the Japanese flag in hand, Momotarō charges forward in vibrant detail, a symbol of strength and heroic spirit. The word “Japan” is delicately stitched above, tying the story to its cultural roots.
In Japanese folklore, Momotarō (桃太郎) literally means “Peach Boy.” He was born from a giant peach floating down a river and raised by an elderly couple. Known for his bravery, Momotarō goes on a heroic quest to defeat ogres (oni) on Demon Island, often with a dog, monkey, and pheasant as allies. He symbolizes courage, loyalty, and victory against evil.
