Japanese Bamboo and Paper Fan – Mount Fuji and Clouds

A Japanese fan with a graphic and soothing design, featuring a white Mount Fuji against stylized purple clouds. Its rounded shape and bamboo handle give it a light and instantly recognizable silhouette.

This Japanese fan features one of the archipelago's most iconic landscapes: Mount Fuji. Its orange-red silhouette, topped with white, stands out against a light background with soft tones. In the lower part, stylized purple clouds in swirls create a delicate contrast and add movement to the composition.

The name Yama, which means "mountain" in Japanese, naturally finds its place here. The design remains refined: a few bold colors, fluid lines, and plenty of space around Fuji. A simple aesthetic that allows the motif to fully breathe.

The paper leaf is pleated onto thin branches connected to a bamboo handle. The overall rounded shape, closer to the silhouette of an uchiwa than that of a classic folding fan, particularly highlights the landscape. As the product is presented by the supplier as a fan, we retain this designation without attributing a traditional, unconfirmed name to it.

With its dimensions of 36 × 18 cm, it offers a beautiful surface while remaining easy to hold. Used to create a little air on hot days or simply appreciated for its Japanese motif, it brings a discreet and warm graphic presence.

This approach follows the recommendations of the Yūgen Lab guide: precisely describe materials, shades, motifs, and usage based on available information, while avoiding attributing unconfirmed origins or manufacturing techniques to the product.
