The folding fan with plum blossom and swirling currents
This fan blends blossom with motion. A blue-graduated leaf carries a plum branch in pink and fuchsia flowers, threaded through with white swirling lines that suggest wind or flowing water curling across the arc. Mounted on bamboo ribs, the combination of bloom and current gives it a sense of movement other fans lack.
The swirls are the distinctive touch: pale, curling lines sweep across the blue ground like stylized eddies of wind or water, weaving between the plum blossoms and giving the whole scene a feeling of breeze made visible. It's a poetic pairing of stillness and flow. The pale swirls weave between the blossoms like breeze made visible.
It's a sensu, the classic folding fan: a printed leaf on slim bamboo ribs that pivot from a riveted base, snapping open with a flick and folding flat to carry. Openwork bamboo near the rivet finishes the base.
It works as a cooling accessory on a warm day and as a decorative piece on a stand, the swirling motif catching the eye on a shelf or wall. The current motif makes it a subtly distinctive choice among the floral fans.
Handcrafted on a wood-frame structure and opening to 21 cm high by 38 cm wide, it pairs everyday use with a scene of blossom and flowing line. A blue folding fan for anyone who likes a little motion woven into their blossom.
The folding fan has long carried scenes of nature in motion, and the swirling currents here add a rare sense of movement. The pairing of still blossom and flowing line gives it a poetic quality that sets it apart from the simpler floral fans, a subtly distinctive piece for anyone who likes a little wind woven into the picture.

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.
