{"product_id":"uchiwa-fan","title":"Uchiwa Fan","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe flat white uchiwa fan with a clean paddle face\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cem\u003euchiwa\u003c\/em\u003e — the flat, fixed paddle fan, quite different from the folding \u003cem\u003esensu\u003c\/em\u003e. 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 white surface keeps the look simple and graphic, letting the shape and the bamboo speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is the appeal: dozens of thin bamboo spokes fan out from the handle beneath the leaf, visible as a fine radiating pattern under the paper, while the smooth white 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere 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. That plain white leaf has its own quiet appeal — it reads as calm and minimal, and it takes ink, brush or stamp beautifully if you ever want to decorate it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen and flat, it also makes a simple decorative piece for a wall or shelf, the white face and warm bamboo handle sitting easily against any background. It's the kind of understated object that suits a modern minimalist interior as naturally as a traditional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted 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 white uchiwa for anyone who wants a proper, breeze-moving japanese-style fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 white face still reads well as simple decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge flat fan (uchiwa) design in plain white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo wood structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 34-36 cm high x 22 cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for summer use or decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan-Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973492084969,"sku":"14:201504125#color2;200467261:203031827#L","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/white-uchiwa-fan-1.jpg?v=1785228980","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/uchiwa-fan","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
