{"product_id":"red-torii-yokai-sukajan-hyakki","title":"Red Torii Yokai Sukajan 'Hyakki'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA red shrine gate on the chest, a fox-masked woman on the back\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure on the back of this sukajan is a woman in white with a fox mask pushed up on her head and nine fox tails fanning out behind her, kneeling among pink lotus flowers with red flames curling round, a lantern and a small red seal beside her. On the chest, a red torii gate on the left, and on the right a koi in orange leaping through flames. Black body, red sleeves, ribbing black with gold stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the most narrative of the sukajan, a scene rather than an animal, and the story it tells is the oldest one in the collection: the fox spirit who becomes a woman, at the gate of the shrine that belongs to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Hyakki, is the night parade of a hundred demons, the procession of spirits in the old scrolls, and the fox woman is the one at the front of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery motif is embroidered, not printed, in dense satin stitch that stands off the cloth and catches the light differently as you move; that is the whole point of a sukajan, and it is the reason the jacket weighs what it does. The body is a satin blend with a soft sheen and a light quilted lining, and the collar, cuffs and hem are a ribbed knit, which is the construction the sukajan has had since the first ones were sewn for American sailors in Yokosuka in the late forties. It zips at the front and has a slash pocket at each hip. It washes cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle, and dries flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it over a white tee and white trousers, as in the photograph, or over black to make the red sleeves and the white figure the only light. Nothing else with a pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a street it is a black-and-red bomber with a pale figure on the back. From close the woman has every fold of her robe, the tails every hair, the lotus every petal, and the torii on the chest its crossbeams. It is the sukajan for someone who wants a story on their back, and this one has a good one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sleeves are set in raglan, and the torii on the chest sits high on the left with the koi answering it on the right, so the front tells the beginning of the story and the back tells the end. The gold stripes in the ribbing pick up the lantern and the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from M to XXXL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Red \/ M","offer_id":59207730561372,"sku":"14:10;5:361386","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ L","offer_id":59207730594140,"sku":"14:10;5:361385","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ XL","offer_id":59207730626908,"sku":"14:10;5:100014065","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ XXL","offer_id":59207730659676,"sku":"14:10;5:4182","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ XXXL","offer_id":59207730692444,"sku":"14:10;5:4183","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/red-torii-yokai-sukajan-hyakki-1.jpg?v=1790581552","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/red-torii-yokai-sukajan-hyakki","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
