Vest, Good Luck, Japanese
€950.00
Tax included
Very nice and scarce genuine WWII Japanese good-luck cloth vest. This is a sleeveless cotton padded jacket, featuring a V-shaped collar and closing with five buttons, covered with various hand-painted ideograms and other religious symbols. A special emplacement sewn in the lining, located in the back, contains a small rectangular amulet.
Just like the good-luck flag (Hinomaru yosegaki), the war banner (Shussei nobori) or the 'one-thousand stitch belt' (Senninbari haramaki), this type of garment was one of the main spiritual protection artifacts carried by the Nipponese serviceman departing for war. Its origins seem to date back to the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895).
An amazingly unusal artifact, in excellent overall condition.
