Fireman's Jacket, late 19th to early 20th century, Japan.  "Cotton, with freehand paste-resist decoration (tsutsugaki), and quilted in cotton stitches (sashiko). This jacket would have been worn by a fireman. It is made from several layers of thick cotton quilted together using a technique known as ‘sashiko’. Before tackling a blaze a fireman would be drenched in water to protect him from the flames, the quilting of the jacket allowing for maximum absorption. Wearing this heavy garment the fireman would attack the blaze, using a long pole to pull down buildings to prevent the fire from spreading. The design of the jacket provided more than just physical protection. The motif of a dragon, a magical beast who brought storms when it descended from the heavens, served to wrap the fireman in divine protection. The jacket is reversible, and during a fire the plain side would be revealed. When the fire had been defeated - and on festival days - the dynamic image would be revealed."  Text and image via V&A Museum
