Product Description

Era: Taisho to Early Showa period (1910s–1930s)
Material: Cotton

This vintage noragi jacket was born out of Japan’s rural life between the Taisho and early Showa eras.
Made from indigo-dyed cotton fabrics such as solid indigo, kasuri (ikat), and striped textiles, each piece was patched together out of necessity—and guided by the maker’s quiet sense of beauty. Coarse yet sashiko stitches bind these fabrics firmly, creating both function and form.

Both sides of the garment feature unique “crazy patterns,” where coincidence and intention overlap to form a composition that feels almost abstract—like a wearable piece of art.

Its presence changes with movement, transcending the notion of mere workwear. Layer it over a T-shirt or sweatshirt to add depth and texture to your outfit, or wear it under a coat for a surprisingly modern and fresh impression.

This noragi represents the Japanese tradition of reusing and repurposing cloth through handwork—an expression of everyday life and sustainability long before the term existed.

The timeless design and organic textures of this piece have captivated collectors and creators around the world. It resonates with those who love handmade work, slow fashion, and creative remakes.

Beautiful enough to display, powerful enough to wear—this is truly a wearable art piece, carrying the quiet memory of its era through hand-stitched indigo cloth.
