The flat uchiwa fan with a single-color paddle face

This is the uchiwa — the flat, fixed paddle fan, quite different from the folding sensu. A rounded leaf is stretched over fine bamboo ribs that radiate from a straight bamboo handle, giving a broad, rigid face you wave from the wrist. Its clean, single-color surface keeps the look simple and graphic.

The construction is the appeal: dozens of thin bamboo spokes fan out from the handle beneath the leaf, visible as a fine radiating pattern, while the smooth solid-color face throws a generous, steady breeze. It's the everyday summer fan of Japan, made for humid afternoons and festival evenings. The straight bamboo handle sits naturally in the palm for long, easy strokes.

Where a folding sensu tucks into a pocket, the uchiwa is meant to be held and waved freely, its broad paddle moving far more air with each stroke. The straight handle sits comfortably in the hand for long, easy fanning.

It comes in several models, so you can choose the version that suits you, each keeping the clean flat-fan silhouette. Open and flat, it also makes a simple decorative piece for a wall or shelf.

Handcrafted on a bamboo structure and measuring around 34-36 cm high by 22 cm wide, it's built for real summer use as much as display. A traditional flat uchiwa for anyone who wants a proper, breeze-moving Japanese fan.

The uchiwa is the everyday fan of a Japanese summer, the one waved on humid evenings and at festivals long before electric fans existed. Its broad, rigid paddle simply moves more air than a folding fan can, which is why it remains the practical choice for real heat, while its clean face still reads well as simple decor.

  • Japan Clothing is inspired by Japan, not made in Japan — and we want you to know it. Every piece in our collection draws from Japanese culture, design, and street style: from the energy of Tokyo's neighborhoods to the calm of Kyoto's workshops, from the prints of vintage textiles to the silhouettes of modern streetwear. We translate that inspiration into clothing designed for daily wear, anywhere in the world.

    Our pieces are produced through manufacturing partners in Asia who share our standards for quality and craft. The exact composition of each piece is listed on its product page and inner label.

    We don't sell an origin. We share a spirit.
