60-bone bamboo and silk hand fans
KINGYO (handpainted red goldfish design)
This is the world's first hand fan made with 60 pure bamboo bones. Its smooth, flexible wave creates aromatic wafts of air that gently cool the user. Its graceful design also comes packaged in an attractive wooden box for excellent gift giving.
The top portion of the hand fan is made of silk and is handpainted by a professional artist. Here, the art work is of adorable red goldfish - known as "kingyo" in Japanese.
The Japanese believe that the top of the handle of the hand fan symbolizes the beginning of life and the ribs represent the paths of life leading in all directions bringing good fortune and happiness. Thanks to its magnificent, natural beauty and craftsmanship, Japanese fans have become an intrinsic symbol of Japanese culture.
The handfan featured above was created by the artist you see just below. Only available in Japan, naturally.
