A rare military-pattern sukajan (souvenir jacket) that was produced only in small numbers at the time, and is consequently scarce even in today’s vintage market. The front motif depicts the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier **Princeton**. From the **Task Force 77** insignia on the chest and the **CV-37** designation on the back, it can be definitively identified as a piece custom-ordered for that unit when they visited Japan during the Korean War, sometime between **1950 and 1952**. Set against a black-and-silver body, the sleeve piping and rib trims are rendered in navy; rather than letting the whole jacket feel overly “matched,” the design intentionally shifts the tones within the dark color range—an authentic, vintage-informed detail.
The reversible side features a **maiko** motif, itself rarely seen in the vintage market. Variations exist that combine a maiko with a map of Japan, but compositions that place the maiko front and center in such a bold, large-scale depiction are exceptionally uncommon. The body is finished in a “reverse colorway” of **champagne gold and wine red**, and the maiko’s beautiful back view is portrayed with meticulous, horizontally stitched embroidery: carefully arranged hair, the exposed nape above the kimono’s pulled-back collar, and the long, draped obi tied in the traditional manner—together forming a richly atmospheric piece with striking presence.
