Art and History of this Hermès Scarf

With Daimyo, Princes of the Rising Sun , Françoise Faconnet celebrates the refinement of Japanese aesthetics and its founding values: power, wisdom, and loyalty. Inspired by feudal Japan, this scarf pays homage to the daimyo , lords whose circular crests—symbols of perfection—often depicted animals or plants. At the center, the crane, an emblematic bird of happiness and longevity, is surrounded by ginkgo foliage, the tree of resilience and wisdom. In the background, the crossed swords of the samurai recall the weapon of combat and hara-kiri, becoming here the guardians of a legacy of bravery and honor. Both graphic and spiritual, this scarf strikes a subtle balance between strength and ritual beauty, in a vibrant tribute to the Princes of the Rising Sun.
