Collection: Fans

In Japan, the fan goes with hot, humid summers, festivals (matsuri) and the performing arts. There are two main families: the sensu, the folding fan, and the uchiwa, the round or oval fan with a fixed handle.

Japanese folding fan, uchiwa fan, fabric or paper fan: our collection brings together fans of Japanese design, in bamboo or wood, covered with paper, fabric or polyester.

Their motifs draw on Japanese imagery: Mount Fuji and clouds, matsuri waves, dragonflies, dragon, goldfish, flowers and birds, geometric patterns, or inscriptions such as “hi no yōjin”, “beware of fire”. There are also mini fans with a stand, to display as decoration, and small postcard-shaped uchiwa delivered with their envelope.

Store a fan closed and dry, away from moisture. They make lovely, affordable gifts.
