provcoll ! I think her avatar looks like it might be the same scarf. I always admire it.

Wow, this scarf is really beautiful. Is it based on a Japanese legend, something about a woman who turned into a crane?

^ Thanks, evekitti. I didn't even know the story behind the scarf. Can anyone tell us more about this story?

Licencetocook, There are cranes on the scarf so I thought it might have been about the legend of a fisherman who married a woman who turned out to be a crane. But I think i got it wrong, the scarf looks more like a tribute to Japanese tea ceremony. I googled the kanji on the scarf 一期一会 and it turns out that it has its origin in Japanese tea ceremony.

Here's an excerpt that I found on wiki:

Ichi-go ichi-e (一期一会, literally "one time, one meeting") is a Japanese term that describes a cultural concept often linked with famed tea master Sen no Rikyu. The term is often translated as "for this time only," "never again," or "one chance in a lifetime."

Ichi-go ichi-e is linked with Zen Buddhism and concepts of transience. The term is particularly associated with the Japanese tea ceremony, and is often brushed onto scrolls which are hung in the tea room. In the context of tea ceremony, ichi-go ichi-e reminds participants that each tea meeting is unique.

Nice work, Muffin (and S'Mom)! I had my eye on that one too, but gold isn't really my color. Enjoy!
