Description
A handcrafted Miyako uchiwa fan made using traditional Edo-style techniques, defined by its elegant chidori (curved) silhouette.
About this item
This fixed (non-folding) Japanese uchiwa is constructed with exceptionally fine bamboo ribs, allowing it to generate a broad, soft breeze with minimal movement.
The handle is shaped from Yamabu cedar, chosen for its lightness, strength, and comfortable balance in the hand. The surface is finished with bright Uchiyama washi paper, offering a clean, refined appearance.
Both functional and sculptural, the fan can be enjoyed for daily use or displayed as a quiet interior accent.
Curator’s Note
