Handmade postman-green Oshima-tsumugi wool scarf with black jacquard & goldfish

No.249 The River of Life From the moment you entered the world, life began to flow. Birth, growth, encounters, separation, and death—all closely intertwined. Throughout this long journey, a gentle force accompanies and protects you. You are never truly alone. ★ Size: approx. 198cm (L) × 32.5cm (W) ★ Materials: Vintage Japanese wool (traditional weaving), vintage Japanese court-style jacquard wool, metal bat-shaped beads, red agate, aventurine beads, goldfish embroidery ★ Suitable seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter ★ Features: Each piece is one-of-a-kind and entirely hand-stitched. The process is time-consuming but allows careful alignment with the fabric’s original patterns, securing the layers by lifting only minimal warp or weft threads and hiding all stitches. This prevents distortion, maintains the fabric’s integrity, and ensures both sides remain beautifully finished—without the visible seam lines produced by machine stitching. Every work includes a hand-polished, hand-dyed antique-style brass brand tag and a dedicated storage pouch. Packaging is included, making it suitable for gifting. ★ Please note: Brooch not included. ★ Design Concept This postman-green vintage Japanese wool has a saturated tone and a firm, refined texture. Even when still, it carries a quiet glow. Paired here with a European court-style jacquard, the combination feels like two cultures meeting along the same path: On the deep green side, the black patterns move like a calm, continuous rhythm beneath the water; On the black side, the raised jacquard motifs resemble the faint sparks formed by life’s mix of sweet and bitter moments. The two textures intertwine, converse, and move the piece forward together. A small goldfish rests softly within the details, symbolizing the clear and steady flow that allows vitality to flourish. The tiny bat beads, paired with reddish-brown agate, offer a quiet blessing—when the bat arrives, good fortune follows. ★ Care Instructions: Dry clean only. When not in use, store the piece in its dedicated pouch.
