'Personal Effects' by Hiroshi Fujiwara (2009) Gucci Ukiyoe Souvenir Jacket, 2003

[tanuki-kimono]

Modern printed obi by Gofukuya, with a dragon pattern inspired by sukajan embroidered designs.

Sukajan - or souvenir jackets - appeared after WWII when parachutes were used to tailor bomber jacket american soldiers brought back in the US. First mainly decorated with military motifs, they started to be embroidered with Japanese patterns. In the 60′s, sukajan were worn by bad boys but in the past decades, they've made a come back into mainstream fashion.

The listing also have a pic of the whole obi, might be of interest if you'd like to see how patterns are set on an obi lenght. Top of the pic is the te (part folded and wrapped around the torse), bottom is the tare (part used to make the back knot):

🇯🇵 Elliott's Japan Trivia Corner 🇯🇵

Fun fact: Japan is soon going to contain one (1) very excited Elliott, with an unreasonable amount of money to spend on souvenirs and niche af cultural visits!

I'm honestly not sure how much I'll be able to be online for the next two weeks (probably not very much); I'll still be available on Discord, and I might log into Tumblr every now and then to infodump about Shinto shrines.

I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA!!!! 😁

Souvenir from Kyoto : Date Masamune

[comicdiaries]

Everything in the Mt. Fuji museum gift shop was mostly blue with the classic white peak on top, including my gelato! My favorite thing we bought was a blue guitar pick -- when you play it, the blue paint wears off to show white underneath, making it look like Mt. Fuji's peak. So cute!

I got back from Japan about a week ago, just missing a tsunami.

Most of the stuff here are my souvenirs. The TARDIS, kimono dolls, tea set and jade thing I’ve had for a while.

I am particularly proud of the Pokémon plushies, the Chandu, the Kirakisho nendoroid I found in Akihabara, and the myriad of gatchapons I kept for myself.

Typhoon Ampil made us shave two days off our trip.
