{"product_id":"three-hares-65cm-silk-scarf","title":"Three Hares - 65cm Silk Scarf","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe earliest known use of the Three Hares dates back to 6th Century China, when the motif was used to decorate the ceilings of over a dozen rooms within the Mogao Caves, a massive and richly decorated Buddhist temple consisting of hundreds of rooms carved directly into a stone cliffside. By the time the hares were painted, the Mogao Caves had already become a busy desert crossroads along the caravan routes of the Silk Road, and the Three Hares traveled West on textiles and ceramics through the Middle East, across Europe, and finally across the English Channel into the United Kingdom. We see the three hares in art from Buddhist, Islamic, Christian, and Jewish traditions. The image itself remained unchanged in this great journey, but as each religion and region adopted the motif, they assigned their own symbolism and significance to the Hares. To me, the symbol of the Three Hares represents the possibility of symbiotic exchange and mutual appreciation among cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApples tell a similar story of mutually beneficial trade and cultural syncretism. All varieties of modern cultivated apples are descended from \u003cem\u003eMalus sieversii\u003c\/em\u003e, a species of wild apple native to both sides of the Tian Shan mountain range. As traders and travelers along the Silk Road routes ate these apples while they traveled, they planted or discarded the seeds as they went. These trees were intentionally and accidentally cross-pollinated with the species native to each area, and the resulting fruits were spread in both directions along trade routes, eventually leading to the 7,500 species of domestic apples that we enjoy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt and commerce are the connective tissue that bind humans together across the world, providing a necessary mechanism for cross-cultural understanding and a basis for peaceful relations. My hope is that this scarf serves as a witness to the long history of communication, shared ideals, and trade among disparate regions, and as a reminder of the benefits of cultural exchange and mutual respect among different religions and cultures, both across and within national boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis scarf was illustrated in full by guest artist \u003ca class=\"text-link\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Arlo Teague - Illustrator and Tattoo Artist - Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/arlo.ink\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArlo Teague\u003c\/a\u003e, a Bay Area tattoo artist and illustrator.
