A Sukajan Specialty Store in Kyoto
"tow" is a specialty store in Kyoto dedicated to Sukajan — Japan’s iconic embroidered jackets.
Our store brings together a wide variety of Sukajan, from contemporary designs to distinctive pieces featuring elaborate Japanese embroidery.
Dragons, tigers, eagles, cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji and other powerful motifs are brought to life through detailed embroidery, giving each jacket its own character.
What is a Sukajan?
Sukajan, also known as the Japanese souvenir jacket, has a unique history that began in postwar Japan. Originally created as souvenir jackets, they combined Western-style jackets with elaborate embroidery inspired by Japan and East Asia.
Over time, Sukajan developed into a distinctive part of Japanese fashion and culture.
Today, they are appreciated around the world not only as fashion, but also for their craftsmanship, history and striking visual identity.
