Japanese Folding Fans

Japanese fans evolved into an art form during the Edo period, 1690-1868. Not only are they exquisitely decorated, but the thin wooden panels splay in a way that conjures up the radiating sun's rays, or the leaves those rays give life to and sustain.

These gorgeous hand-made and hand-painted Japanese folding fans - maiougi are the kind used in Japanese traditional dance. Bring their lightness and delicacy of touch to your home or office. Better still, use one in summer! You'll be surprised at how powerfully a few waves of a fan will cool and refresh. Each folding fan is hand crafted in Kyoto by the renowned folding fan artist Tomokazu Kurashima.

Each fan is painted on both sides with striking natural images reflecting the changing seasons. These fans are 29 cm (11.5 in.) tall and 51 cm (20.8 in.) wide when fully opened. Light gold background.

Note: Fans do not come with the pictured stand.
