Japanese Ceremonial Brocade Jinbaori Vest Jacket
About the Item
Made entirely from luxuriant woven brocade (kinran) for the exterior, this Japanese sleeveless jacket is called Jinbaori. Commonly worn by the Samurai warriors during 16th century when warfare was common in feudal Japan, this type of loose jacket, as a surcoat on top the armor, served as an extra protection, and more importantly as an identification in the battlefield with its bright colors and often Mons. In Edo period, the society was stabilized and Jinbaori gradually shifted toward a pure ceremonial function.
The jacket on offer was unusual as it was tailored entirely from the bright Chinese brocade with elaborate motifs of various types of blooming chrysanthemums, phoenixes with spread wings on a background of pine trees and plum branches. The inside was lined with a fine silk. The two front lapels that flap open and fastened by MOP buttons onto the two red silk tassels. A tie on the front with matching button keeps the jacket closed. Another larger red tassel is also attached to the back.
The jacket is not framed and can be framed or displayed on a hanging rod as one shown. Stand and rod in the pictures are not included.
For a Jinbaori completely made of Chinese woven brocade, see item Accession Number: 2016.25 in the collection of Metropolitan Musuem of Art, NYC.
