Light as Air, Inspired by Japan

A delicate expression of Japanese aesthetics, this folding fan combines fine Japanese cotton fabric, natural bamboo ribs, and traditional Japanese-inspired imagery.

The lightweight, semi-sheer fabric allows subtle light to pass through the surface, giving the fan a soft, layered appearance when opened. Natural bamboo ribs provide a warm contrast to the delicate textile, creating a piece that feels both refined and tactile.

Available in two distinctive designs—Mount Fuji and Japanese Waves—each brings a different expression of Japanese landscape into an everyday object.

✦ Design & Culture

Wave — The Rhythm of Water

Inspired by the flowing rhythm of Japanese wave imagery, the Wave design combines deep blue tones with delicate traditional-style motifs.

The repeating movement of the waves gives the fan a sense of motion, while the lightweight fabric keeps the overall appearance calm and elegant.

Fuji — A Symbol of Japan

The Mount Fuji design brings one of Japan's most recognizable landscapes into the fan's delicate textile surface.

The mountain, surrounded by subtle traditional motifs, creates a composition that feels distinctly Japanese without becoming overly ornate.

✦ Light, Airy & Delicate

The fan surface is made from fine Japanese cotton fabric with a lightweight, semi-transparent quality.

When held against light, the fabric reveals a subtle sense of depth and translucency, allowing the printed design to feel softer and more dimensional.

Combined with the natural bamboo ribs, the result is a fan that feels light in the hand, elegant when opened, and beautiful enough to display.
