Riverside Cherry Blossom Scarf

£50.00

Tax included in product price. Excludes shipping, calculated at checkout

A gorgeous green, blue and cream 100% silk scarf featuring a picturesque Japanese riverside scene.

It depicts cherry blossom trees in the foreground, mountainous hills in the background and figures sailing along the blue river in the middle ground. It is inspired by an original colour woodblock print of the work Musashi Koshigaya Zai by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858).

Considered the last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, an art form that flourished in Japan from the 17th - 19th centuries. This movement, and Hiroshige's works as fine examples, are recognisable for its stylised depictions of contemporary cultural scenes of sports, dancers and rural life; travel scenes and landscapes (as is depicted on this silk scarf); flora and fauna; depictions of history and folk tales; and even erotica.

This scarf is long, exceptionally lightweight, and luxuriously soft, expertly crafted from premium silk with delicate hand-rolled edges for a refined finish.

Please dry clean only for this scarf to ensure its quality and longevity.
