MIKASA is one of the easiest places in Yokosuka to compare several approaches to sukajan in one visit. The shop carries ready-made jackets, its own Mikasa Kinsei line, vintage-informed designs and custom-order options.
What is MIKASA?
MIKASA is operated by HH Shokai, whose roots on Dobuita Street extend back to an earlier liquor business. Its official site says the company opened a souvenir shop for visiting U.S. servicemen in 1951 and has continued selling sukajan and American casual clothing through changes of location and business format.
A shop connected with postwar examples
MIKASA holds deadstock sukajan originally connected with the postwar trade serving American personnel. Some of these historic garments were presented in the 2022 PRIDE OF YOKOSUKA exhibition at the Yokosuka Museum of Art.
That does not mean every archival jacket is for sale. The collection and the current retail stock should be treated separately.
What can you buy today?
Ready-made jackets
The shop carries current models from makers such as Tailor Toyo, with stock changing as items arrive and sell out. Visiting in person lets you compare weight, fabric, embroidery and fit before buying.
Mikasa Kinsei originals
MIKASA’s original line reworks historic sukajan imagery for present-day wear. The shop’s karyu designs, combining flowers, a dragon and Mount Fuji, appear in restrained colour schemes as well as more traditional treatments.
Kan-jan anniversary jackets
The registered Kan-jan concept replaces the traditional red vest given for a 60th birthday with a red sukajan. Names or nicknames and zodiac imagery can be incorporated as a commemorative order.
Custom orders
MIKASA describes both pattern-based orders and full custom projects developed with a sukajan pattern artist. Past work includes personal gifts, company and team pieces, event goods and jackets based on a creator’s own character.
Price and schedule depend on the jacket, embroidery area, complexity, materials and whether a new design must be drawn. Start with the official order form or LINE contact and ask for a current quotation. Do not treat the price or timing from an old celebrity video as a standard rate.
Who is MIKASA best for?
- Visitors who want to try on finished jackets before considering a custom order.
- Buyers looking for Tailor Toyo or a Yokosuka shop original.
- People who prefer a less colourful, easier-to-style interpretation of a traditional motif.
- Individuals, creators or groups who want to discuss a new custom design.
