What is a Sukajan?
The Sukajan, or souvenir jacket , is a legendary jacket born after World War II that symbolizes the meeting of American and Japanese cultures. Inspired by the personalized jackets of American soldiers stationed in Yokosuka, the Sukajan has evolved into a true symbol of rebellion, freedom, and style. Originally a military souvenir, it has transformed into a fashion icon, worn by those who want to display their independence and boldness. The Sukajan has crossed eras and styles, absorbing new influences without ever losing its splendor.
Our Sukajan Motif: Koi and Dragon
Our Sukajan features an impressive motif depicting a Koi swimming alongside a Dragon , two iconic figures in Japanese culture. The Koi , a symbol of perseverance and luck, is beautifully embroidered in a range of vibrant colors, with careful attention to detail emphasizing its grace and fluidity. Beside it, the Dragon , a figure of strength, power, and wisdom, gracefully soars across the jacket. The union of these two symbols—the Koi swimming up rivers to transform into a dragon, and the Dragon itself, creating a seamless connection between struggle and reward—represents the spirit of struggle and transformation. The meticulously crafted silk thread embroidery brings exceptional depth and brilliance to this design, creating a dynamic and meaningful work of art.
