Handmade / Antique Japanese Fabric / Contrasting Green Silk / Classical Floral Landscape Pattern / Woven / Gradient Scarf Shawl

No.258 *Saiho* "Silence is not empty, but rather a space where all things achieve harmony." —Toshimaru Masuno ★Dimensions: Approximately 190cm (Length) x 34cm (Width) ★Materials: Antique Japanese silk fabric, Aventurine + Aquamarine beads ★Suitable Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn ★Features: This unique, handcrafted piece is a labor of love, requiring significant time to create. The process involves carefully considering the fabric's inherent patterns, selectively securing threads to maintain the material's integrity without compromising the overall design. Hidden stitches ensure a seamless finish, avoiding the visible seams typical of machine sewing. This reversible design offers versatility, allowing either side to be showcased beautifully without any awkward angles. Unlike conventional scarves that may have faded reverse sides or less refined edges, resulting in only one visually appealing face, Jul's scarves are designed for dual perfection, with every side ready to be the star. Each piece is adorned with a small, custom-made copper brand tag, hand-finished and distressed by the designer, along with a dedicated storage pouch. ★Please Note: Brooch not included. ★Inspiration: Deep moss, un-swept, deep Zen —Saiho-ji Temple ★Design Concept: These two antique Japanese fabrics took years to find each other. This very waiting period allowed me to once again appreciate the beauty of serendipity. Both fabrics possess delicate woven textures. One, a graceful pale green, captures the natural beauty of the changing seasons; the other, a rich, saturated green, evokes the subtle auspicious patterns found on bamboo. Instantly, the image of the serene and distant Saiho-ji Temple came to mind. Its verdant hues, seemingly rooted in ancient tranquility, bring a sense of stability to a restless mind and body. Therefore, this design is intentionally minimalist, allowing the unique characteristics of these two exquisite fabrics to blend harmoniously. Extending from the fabric's colors and patterns, small, polished natural stone beads of Aventurine and Aquamarine echo the cool, refreshing aesthetic. ★Care Instructions: Dry clean recommended. Store in the provided pouch when not in use.
