Few images are as instantly recognized around the world as The Great Wave. In the famous Hokusai woodblock print, a towering wave curls over three fishing boats, its foaming crest reaching out like claws, while Mount Fuji sits small and calm in the distance. This folding fan brings that iconic scene to a pocket size piece you can actually use, with the sweep of the wave following the curve of the fan as it opens.
Folding fans, called sensu in Japan, have long been both everyday tools and portable art. This one closes to a slim 8.25 in and opens smoothly on 30 ribs, giving you a quick, steady breeze at summer events, ballgames, travel days, or a warm kitchen. It slips easily into a purse, backpack, or glove box, and it makes an easy, inexpensive gift for fans of Japanese art, surfers, and anyone who loves the sea. Pair it with the Red Fuji fan for a matched set of Hokusai classics.
Care Instructions: Open and close the fan gently along its folds, and store it closed, away from moisture and direct sunlight to keep the colors bright. Keep it dry; if it gets damp, open it and let it air dry before folding it up again.
