> YABANE scarf
>
> 矢羽 (from Japanese)
> ya (arrow) hane->bane
> (feather) - fletchings,
> feathers of the arrow
>
> Shaping of this scarf is inspired by
> the feathers of Hamaya - a
> “demon-breaking arrow”, a decorative
> arrow sold at shrines during the New
> Year’s to ward off misfortune and to
> attract good luck. The geometric look
> of the scarf is actually based on
> V-style pleats that occur in paper
> folding art of origami. The scarf can
> transform from a neat compact shape
> into multidimensional textured
> accessory.
