📜 Story Behind the Craft
This design draws on an ancient custom: planting golden daylilies in the family garden as a symbol of maternal comfort during times of separation. These flowers became a quiet presence for mothers awaiting their children’s return — a living expression of longing and strength.
In the artwork, rabbits nestle among the blossoms, while butterflies drift softly overhead. The composition evokes not just spring’s natural beauty, but the gentle resilience of a mother’s care — ever-present, ever-blooming.
Ornamental details such as longevity stones, ruyi symbols, and floral scrolls complete the scene, creating a layered narrative of protection, happiness, and peace.

🧵 Craftsmanship & Ingredients
Each scarf is produced using traditional Nanjing silk techniques adapted for modern luxury accessories. Artisans begin with hand-drawn illustrations, translating them into woven compositions through precision jacquard setup.
The silk is naturally glossy, breathable, and ultra-light, chosen for its ability to reflect color and movement. Fine detailing such as border motifs, layered patterning, and symbolic florals echo design principles from classical Chinese decorative arts.
🌏 Artisan & Origin Spotlight
This piece is created by affiliated artists of the Nanjing Yunjin Brocade Research Institute, a legacy organization responsible for safeguarding centuries of silk-making traditions.
Though the scarf is not a brocade itself, its design language and values are directly inspired by the institute’s cultural archives — merging heritage with contemporary form.
🏛️ Cultural Heritage Recognition
Rooted in Imperial Weaving Legacy
The tradition of silk artistry in Nanjing is centuries old, with its pinnacle being the Yunjin (Cloud Brocade) method — a court-designated weaving system reserved for imperial garments.
Recognized for its historic, technical, and artistic value, Yunjin weaving was officially listed as part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
