Red Fuji is one of the most recognizable images in Japanese art. Katsushika Hokusai captured the moment on a late summer morning when early sunlight turns the slopes of Mount Fuji a deep rust red, and his print, often called Fine Wind, Clear Morning, has stood for Japan itself ever since. This folding fan carries that red Fuji design across its pleated face, a bold, simple image that reads clearly whether the fan is open in your hand or on display.
Folding fans, called sensu in Japan, have been carried for centuries as practical tools for keeping cool and as small works of art. This one closes to a slim 8.25 in, easy to tuck into a bag or pocket for summer festivals, outdoor events, a hot kitchen, or a long commute, and it opens with a quick flick of the wrist on 30 ribs. It also makes an inexpensive gift or stocking stuffer for anyone who loves Japan, and it looks great opened on a stand or a shelf. Pair it with the Great Wave 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.
