Samurai Fireman's Jacket

Samurai Fireman's Jacket
Japan
late Edo (1825-1868)
$2,500.00

A rare Edo jacket and bib set of a style that suggests it was once intended to be worn by a mounted flag-bearing samurai 'Daimyou' firefighter. The jacket and bib are of wool twill, with metallic couched mon and appropriate 'amaryu' (rain-dragon) motifs. Good condition, with much minor fraying along the metallic-embroidery edges. 51" across sleeves x 39" height.
