Hiroshige Cherry Blossom Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES A delicate floral Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf featuring elements from the work Willow, Cherry Blossoms, Sparrows and Swallow , (1870s) by Uttagawa Hiroshige III. Not to be confused with the original artist Hiroshige (1797-1858), Uttagawa Hiroshige III worked in the style of the original Hiroshige and was a student of Hiroshige II, the adopted son-in-law of the original master. To confuse matters a little more when his mentor died, Hiroshige III then married his master's widow. His work included Meiji-era prints depicting familiar traditional Japanese scenes and motifs but also detailed increasing modernisation, such as railways and Western-style buildings, blending traditional ukiyo-e techniques with contemporary subjects. COLOURS STYLING A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
