Kuro Sumi (黒墨) Scarf
Kuro Sumi Scarf represents ying and yang of the universe using inspirations from Japanese kanji characters of Black ( 黒 - Kuro) and Ink (墨 - Sumi). One half of the scarf (Kuro) illustrates a typical kaidan (Japanese ghost story) scene: a moon, black crows, and a willow tree, while the other half (Sumi) illustrates abstract elements of the cosmic world.
The scarf is knit in 2-color double knitting, making it reversible with mirrored images in inverted colors. Twisted selvedge edges provide a clean finish and prevent undesired holes. Optional fringes at the narrow ends add fluidity and movement.
