On a deep indigo leaf patterned with fine traditional textile motifs, \u003cem\u003eFujin\u003c\/em\u003e the wind god — white-skinned, carrying his great wind-bag — surges in from one side, while \u003cem\u003eRaijin\u003c\/em\u003e the thunder god — fierce and green, ringed by his drums — charges from the other, bold gold characters set between them like a war banner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFujin and Raijin are among the most powerful images in Japanese art, most famously painted on a pair of folding screens by Tawaraya Sotatsu in the seventeenth century. As gods of wind and thunder they command the forces of the sky — and there is a quiet wit in placing the wind god on a fan, the very object made to stir a breeze. The result is dynamic, mythological, unmistakably Japanese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is printed in strong, detailed color across a smooth silk-touch leaf, the two figures balanced left and right around the pivot for a striking symmetry. It's mounted on white-toned bamboo ribs cut with a fine pierced fret and set with a slim rivet, opening to a full, even arc and folding down compactly for carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplayed on its stand, it makes a bold, characterful centerpiece for anyone drawn to yokai, mythology or Japanese folklore. Opened and carried, it's a genuinely usable fan with real attitude. A standout gift that carries a story. A japanese-style folding fan with the thunder and wind gods in indigo and gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay stand shown in the photograph is for presentation and may be sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Japan-Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973495492841,"sku":"14:200006151#Style 4","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/fujin-raijin-fan-fuurai-1.jpg?v=1785228623","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/fujin-raijin-fan-fuurai","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
