Sukajan Tiger

HOiSUM's signature tiger is on the feet.

This special pair of socks is a modern take on the "Sukajan," a style that originated in post-war Japan.

This is a bold design of the tiger, which is a signature feature of HOiSUM. The tiger sits majestically against the backdrop of a bamboo forest on a vivid coral red body. With the word "Japan" proudly engraved on it, this is a masterpiece that truly expresses the pride of Japan at your feet.

The inherited spirit of Japonism

Japonism, the Japanese aesthetic sense that astonished the world during the Meiji era, was passed down in the postwar Sukajan jacket and is now being reborn in a new form.

The Sukajan began as a jacket decorated with oriental embroidery of eagles, tigers, dragons, etc. as a souvenir for stationed American soldiers, and in the 1950s it became an official supply item at U.S. military bases. Eventually, it came to be loved by young people in Japan as "Sukajan" around Yokosuka Base. The history of this historic garment is expressed in one pair of shoes.

The craftsmanship of the craftsmen is in the details

The tiger, one of the three main motifs of the Sukajan jacket, is a symbol of strength and bravery. The beautiful tiger, sitting calmly against the backdrop of a green bamboo forest, truly embodies the beauty of the Orient. The craftsmanship of the artisan shines through in the tiger's dignified expression and the delicate depiction of the bamboo in the background.

The cuffs are made of a brushed material that replicates the cuffs of a traditional Sukajan jacket. The gold lines on this part of the jacket are black, giving it a finish that is reminiscent of a real Sukajan jacket. We've designed it so that you can enjoy the texture of a Sukajan jacket even on your feet.

New styling possibilities

Available in two colors, coral red and blue, you can choose the one that suits your mood and outfit of the day. It goes great with sneakers or boots. Let it peek out from under your jeans or chinos to create a subtle, individual look.

Pair it with sandals for a stylish, Japanese-modern look. It also works as a hidden accent. Why not enjoy HOiSUM's signature motif from your feet up?
