Size: shoulder width 60cm / length 90cm
Dressmaker: Onoya & Co , Ichigaya Ushigome Tokyo

The gold embroidery on the arms is easily detached from the cloth.
　The materials used for each of these items are high quality and
the sewing and construction is very careful.

Purple lines are very rare in the market. This one belonged to a "Animal Doctor"
who served in the Army.
I have seen numerous "DAIREIFUKU" but have seen very few “animal doctors”.
Their main job was to be "horse" doctors. Needless to say, horses played an important
role in those days when there were no cars like today.
Transportation, mobility on the battlefield, and smart horses were also important during
war. And the "doctors" who examined these important "horses" were treated in Japan
as if they were gods.
They were treated like top class officers in wartime Japan.

It is old, so there are some signs of use and a few dirt tears, but overall it is in excellent preservation condition.
During wartime in Japan, when supplies were scarce and resource prices were skyrocketing, only a few people could afford to own these sets. They were rich and of the upper class.
These are items that have a small number of remaining pieces and are at the level of being displayed in a museum somewhere.
Please take a look and add to your collection.
