The round hand fan with koi swimming among lotus
This round fan holds a whole pond scene. A circular leaf, rimmed in green and mounted on a black handle, carries koi carp — orange and black — gliding among pink lotus flowers and broad green pads, with a line of calligraphy in the corner. A red tassel finishes the handle, lending the courtly disc a festive touch.
The painting is lively and detailed: the koi swim in fluid poses, their orange and inky-black bodies bright against the cream ground, while the lotus blooms and leaves frame them above. Koi, prized for swimming against the current, are a classic emblem of perseverance and good fortune. The koi swim in fluid poses, bright against the cream ground beneath the lotus.
This is a round hand fan (the rigid uchiwa form), not a folding sensu: a fixed circular leaf on a straight handle, held and waved from the wrist. Its painted disc and red tassel make it as much an ornament as an accessory.
It works as a graceful accessory and as a decorative piece, propped on a stand or hung by its tassel where the koi-and-lotus scene reads as a small round painting. The auspicious motif makes it a meaningful gift.
Handcrafted on a bamboo structure with a classic round silhouette, it pairs gentle utility with a lively painted pond. A round koi hand fan for anyone who loves carp, lotus and a touch of good fortune.
The round hand fan descends from the courtly fans once carried at palace and ceremony, where the painted disc was an emblem of refinement as much as a cooling tool. This koi-and-lotus version keeps that grace while adding an auspicious note, a piece equally at home stirring a breeze and displayed open on a stand.

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.
