Kanazawa gold leaf Folding Fan is a handcrafted fan made by Hakuichi, with meticulous attention to detail in every stage from the fan surface and ribs to the final assembly all crafted by skilled artisans. This piece features a lustrous red washi paper adorned with scattered gold leaf, evoking the beauty of stars twinkling in the night sky. Geometrically aligned fan-shaped lines are contrasted with the randomness of the gold leaf, creating a sense of rhythm and movement. The tradition of decorating washi with gold and silver leaf dates back to the Heian period, when it was used on sliding doors, folding screens, and even the paper strips on which aristocrats composed poetry. This piece incorporates traditional techniques such as noge and sunago, while also expressing a modern sense of color. It is suitable not only for traditional Japanese attire, but also for Western clothing and business settings. We also highly recommend it for stylish men. Each piece is handmade, so no two fans are alike — each features unique cracks and wrinkles in the gold leaf. A new type of washi (Japanese paper) with a shimmering, glossy finish is now used, giving the fan an even more luxurious appearance. Learn More

Kanazawa gold leaf Folding Fan is a handcrafted fan made by Hakuichi, with meticulous attention to detail in every stage from the fan surface and ribs to the final assembly all crafted by skilled artisans. This folding fan features a crackled pattern created using two types of foil—aluminum and tin—each in a similar color tone but with subtly different textures. The interplay of these materials allows you to appreciate the nuanced beauty of their color variations. The main shade, Keshizumi-iro (extinguished charcoal), is a deep gray that appears when the white ash is removed from cooled charcoal. It gives a soft, elegant impression that complements a wide range of clothing styles. The contrast between the delicate shimmer of the two foils adds to the refined charm of this piece. The reverse side has a gentle gradient in a subdued grayish pink, giving it a fresh and modern finish. Learn More

Kanazawa gold leaf Folding Fan is a handcrafted fan made by Hakuichi, with meticulous attention to detail in every stage from the fan surface and ribs to the final assembly all crafted by skilled artisans. The color "Haizakura" is a delicate, grayish cherry blossom hue that exudes a sense of calm and subtle elegance. Its ambiguous nuance reflects the traditional Japanese aesthetic of appreciating understated beauty. This design combines different types of Kanazawa gold leaf to express the subtlety of color. Hakuichi's original champagne gold leaf is paired with the traditional "Sanpo" color, and these are meticulously applied using a technique that creates a light, mist-like effect. The gentle and graceful Haizakura tone is seamlessly integrated with Kanazawa gold leaf, resulting in a design where the gold appears to melt into the soft pink background. The delicate, hazy shimmer changes with the angle of light, offering a timeless allure that never ceases to captivate. Contrasting with the luminous front, the reverse side features a subdued "Keshizumi" color, a deep charcoal hue, adding depth and sophistication. This piece is designed to appeal not only to women but also to discerning men who appreciate refined elegance. Learn More
