The Western world in the twenties and thirties had a great fascination with all things art deco and oriental and places like Japan began to export pieces made specifically for the tourist market. These pieces combined classic design elements of the Japanese culture with a slight western twist to the cut and colors. The embroidered jackets where amongst the most prized and this one is a stunning example. Made of a fine cream silk, it is completely covered in fine embroidery work in that is even more amazing once you realize that it is actually a metallic thread that was used. Solidly embroidered with fine hand done red stitches holding the curving metal thread in place, the pattern and design is exquisite. Truly a treasure. Excellent condition and appears unworn.

Fully lined in a cream tissue silk, it closes with silk frog knots. Hand finished
