Japanese Iris Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

This Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf with a navy border features a timeless floral design of blooms common in Japanese art from the Edo period including Irises, Camelias and Orchids.

Irises in Japan symbolise protection, purification, and warding off evil spirits. Camelias symbolise the beauty of humility and the transience of life, often associated with themes of love and devotion. While lotus flowers represent spiritual enlightenment, purity, and the transcendence of life's challenges, reflecting their deep connection to Buddhist teachings where the lotus rises above muddy waters to bloom beautifully.
