Indigo-Dyed Elegance: A Rare Vintage Happi Jacket from Showa-Era Japan

Vintage Japan hanten with indigo dye, perfect for casual or cultural styling

This vintage happi jacket, crafted in mid-Showa Japan, is a true treasure for collectors of Japanese heritage garments.

The standout feature? Its indigo-dyed collar—deeply contrasted against the cotton body and adorned with traditional kanji characters. The balance between bold and refined makes this piece both wearable and artful.

It comes with one inner and one side pocket, offering unexpected practicality.

Over time, the cotton will soften beautifully with use—making it not just a piece to admire, but to live in.

Japanese vintage textiles like this are becoming increasingly rare. If you’re drawn to retro aesthetics, traditional dye techniques, and thoughtful construction, don’t miss this opportunity.
