A traditional Japanese uchiwa fan, handmade in Japan from natural bamboo and hemp. Named Shikisai, meaning colour or colouring in Japanese, the design brings together rich blocks of blue, mustard, warm red and soft brown in a bold geometric composition.
The clean, modern pattern contrasts beautifully with the delicate bamboo construction and natural texture of the hemp, giving this traditional Japanese object a distinctly contemporary feel.
Traditionally used to create a gentle breeze during Japan’s warmer months, the uchiwa is equally beautiful as part of the home. Hang it on the wall as a graphic piece of Japanese textile art, display it on a shelf, or use it as intended on warm summer days.
