This listing is for a vintage happi coat - typically worn for parades or festivals, and usually decorated with auspicious designs or kanji that refer to an event sponsor, community organization, or even the town government.
The background is a bright lime green with a white checkerboard motif across the hemline. A large, white logo on the back seems to include a cresent moon and an old-fasioned telephone receiver.
On the front collar is white kanji lettering that can be translated as "I love public phones" and "Japanese Public Telephone Association" .
