19th century Japanese Firemen’s Coats Each firefighter in a given brigade was outfitted with a special reversible coat (hikeshi banten), plain but for the name of the brigade on one side and decorated with richly symbolic imagery on the other. Made of several layers of quilted cotton fabric, using a process called the sashiko technique, and resist-dyed using the tsutsugaki method, these coats would be worn plain-side out and thoroughly soaked in water before the firefighters entered the scene of the blaze. 

1. The wizard Jiraiya turning into a giant toad 2. A scene famous from prints and Kabuki plays - the samurai Sato Tadanobu, ambushed by enemies while playing the game Go, is unable to reach his weapons so defends himself with the game's heavy wooden table, scattering the black and white stone game pieces 3. Interlocking circles, Chinese characters (Kanji) and ginkgo leaves 4. A spider hovering over an abandoned Go board 5. A tiger and dragon motif 6. A dragon motif
