Handmade Japanese Floral Fan Jacquard Pink-Lilac Scarf Shawl

English (Pinkoi description) No.356 First Encounter of Early Autumn White dew has fallen, resting upon the sleeves. Yet the one I long for—have you seen my feelings? “Though white dew settles upon the sleeves, my beloved does not see— will you not notice the longing in my heart?” — Man’yōshū (Book 17), by Ōtomo no Yakamochi From the Man’yōshū ★ Size: approx. 194 cm long, 33 cm wide ★ Materials: antique Japanese silk fabric, antique pure silk jacquard, antique glass beads, Swarovski crystals ★ Season: all seasons ★ Features This is a one-of-a-kind handmade piece. Each scarf is sewn entirely by hand, a time-consuming process that carefully follows the natural patterns of the fabric. Only a few warp or weft threads are lifted to secure the layers, allowing the stitches to remain hidden. This preserves the fabric without distortion and ensures both sides can be beautifully displayed, avoiding the visible stitch lines typical of machine sewing. Each piece is finished with a small brand tag in aged brass, hand-polished and dyed by the designer, and comes with its own storage pouch. ★ The piece includes packaging and is suitable as a gift. ★ Care: Dry clean only. When not in use, please store it in the provided pouch. ★ Brooch not included. ★ Design Inspiration “In September, rain fell throughout the night. By morning the rain stopped and the sun shone brightly. The chrysanthemums in the garden stood heavy with dew— a beautiful sight.” — from The Pillow Book ★ Design Concept The floral patterns in this piece are rich and intricate. Lines in autumn-green tones weave together into stems and foliage, while flowers of different colors bloom vividly across the surface. The elegant ivory base calms and balances the composition. Occasional milky Swarovski crystals appear like glistening drops of morning dew. On the reverse side, a soft pink-lilac silk with a gentle sheen features refined classical Japanese fan motifs that seem to float lightly across the fabric. Composed entirely of silk materials, the scarf carries a refined yet luminous presence. It suits formal settings such as work, yet on weekends it can also be paired simply with a plain T-shirt and worn with ease.
