Product Details

Era
Early to Mid Showa Period (circa 1930s–1950s)

Material
Wool

This is a wool cape crafted during the early to mid Showa period.

Created during a transitional era when daily life gradually shifted from traditional Japanese clothing to Western dress, this outerwear piece reflects a balance between practicality and the quiet aesthetic sensibilities of its time.

The cape design itself carries a subtle sense of romance often seen in garments from the Taisho period through the early Showa era.

The line that falls naturally from the shoulders changes its expression with the wearer’s movement, gently enhancing posture and gesture.

With a design that has a modest yet distinct presence, this piece is also recommended for those drawn to Taisho Romantic style.

The wool fabric, shaped by the passage of many years, possesses a density and softness that modern materials rarely achieve, offering a tangible sense of weight and time when touched.

Beyond its function as clothing, this outer layer serves as a quiet archive piece that conveys the atmosphere and sensibilities of its era.

Incorporated into everyday wear, it adds depth and subtle contrast not found in contemporary garments.
