Japanese Folding Fan – Hemp Leaf | Sensu | Navy

The asa no ha — the hemp leaf pattern — is one of Japan’s most ancient and auspicious geometric motifs. Its interlocking six-pointed stars, repeated across the surface of this deep navy fan, carry centuries of meaning: growth, resilience, and the wish for a child to flourish as swiftly as hemp.

On a traditional Japanese folding fan (sensu), the pattern takes on a quiet, meditative quality — precise, rhythmic, and deeply considered.

Craftsmanship

Woven cotton fabric stretched over hand-cut bamboo ribs — a construction method unchanged for generations. The result is a fan that moves with quiet authority: responsive, balanced, and built to last.

To Carry & To Give

At 21 cm, it slips into a bag with ease. An exceptional gift for those who appreciate the depth of Japanese pattern and craft.
